IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SAMANA TRAVELERS

DT readers caution that at the exit of Samana highway, coming from the capital, policemen arrest foreigners.

Although everything is in order, papers, insurance, belt, they find an excuse to ask for money. If not, they tell you to go with them to the police station in order to proceed with alleged checks.

Most of the people pay to avoid wasting their time.

Thanks to the readers who gave us this information.

Please spread the word in order for the authorities to stop this blackmail.
