Police arrested two men in La Pampa, Fusagasugá, after they allegedly tried to avoid a checkpoint.[1] Officers from GOES Sumapaz, a special operations group, said the men, aged 25 and 23, abruptly changed direction on seeing police and were intercepted after a short pursuit.[1]

During the search, officers found and seized about one Colombian pound, or roughly half a kilogram, of marijuana described as creepy in the men’s belongings.[1] According to official sources, the men were detained on suspicion of offences involving the trafficking, manufacture or illegal possession of drugs.[1] The men and the seized material were placed in the custody of the judicial authorities.[1]

The operation formed part of a local intervention plan targeting offences associated with the sale of psychoactive substances.[1]
