Police in Bello, Antioquia, captured two men aged 29 and 36 after officers found
about 900 doses of marijuana in a bag they were carrying on a motorcycle.[1]The procedure took place in the El Carmelo sector during prevention,
registration and control work by the vigilance patrols, which intercepted the
motorcycle and searched the men’s belongings.[1]Caracol Radio reported that
the two suspects rode away from the patrols evasively before they were
intercepted, and that the marijuana was packed and ready for distribution at
sales points in the municipality.[2]
According to the authorities, the marijuana was prepared for distribution and
sale in that part of Bello, and the police took the roughly 900 doses out of
circulation.[1]Minuto30 reported that the doses had been portioned one by one
and prepared to be distributed at several sales points, adding that
investigators were still working out where the load came from and which outlets
it was meant for.[3]Both men were captured at the scene and the drug was
seized under the corresponding procedure.[1]
The two men were placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office
(Fiscalía General de la Nación), where they must answer for the alleged crime of
trafficking, manufacturing or carrying narcotics, and a judicial authority will
decide their legal situation.[1]The police said the operation was part of
national police work against local drug trafficking and the illegal economies
tied to it.[1]The force said it would keep carrying out surveillance,
registration and control activities in Bello to identify and combat drug
trafficking in the municipality’s different sectors.[1]

The sources give no separate date for the interception; 6 November 2026 is the publication date of all three reports and Minuto30 says the capture happened that Friday, so it is used as the incident date.
No weight in grams or kilograms was published for the marijuana; it is reported only as about 900 doses, so no cannabis weight is recorded.
No street value and no breakdown of the doses were published.
The two detainees are identified only by their ages, 29 and 36; no names were released.
No custody ruling, charge sheet or court outcome was reported; the men were left at the disposal of the Attorney General's Office while a judicial authority decides their legal situation.
All three accounts reproduce the same Metropolitan Police of Medellín statement, so they are not independent reporting; no police bulletin page for this case could be opened.
The photo on the Alerta page is a police handout captioned only "Capturados Bello Marihuana"; it is credited to the Policía Metropolitana de Medellín but no caption confirms what it depicts.
