National Police officers seized 450 kilos of ‘creepy’ marijuana during a road control in southwestern Antioquia and captured two people transporting it in a vehicle.[1]
The seizure happened at El Planchón, on the road between La Pintada and Bolombolo, and was detected by traffic police of the National Police’s Ditra directorate during a routine control on that corridor.[1] Police said the marijuana was being moved by the method known as kamikaze, a practice of transporting illicit loads by road to evade authorities’ checkpoints.[1]
The vehicle in which the detainees and the marijuana were traveling reportedly had a theft report registered in Cali, and judicial authorities would verify its origin, any link to criminal networks and the final destination of the seized substance.[1]
The two captured people were handed over to the competent authorities and the Attorney General’s Office must define their legal status and determine whether they belong to a structure dedicated to drug transport or played a specific role in a criminal organization’s logistics chain.[1]
‘Creepy’ is a variety that usually has a higher concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive component of cannabis.[1]
