Traffic police arrested a man in flagrante at Limoncitos, Guayabetal, on the
Bogotá–Villavicencio road while he was transporting 917 kilograms of creepe-type
marijuana.[1]The arrest occurred during a Transit and Transport Police
inspection in the sector of Limoncitos, jurisdiction of Guayabetal municipality,
Cundinamarca.[2]The detainee, the pickup and the seized drug were placed at
the disposal of the competent authorities for the judicial process.[1]
Officers inspecting the pickup during registration and control activities found
500 packages containing the drug.[1]Police identified the contents as
creepe-type marijuana being transported by road.[2]Authorities said the load
was moved under the modality known as kamikaze.[2]Police put the value of the
load at more than 2,178 million pesos, describing it as an impact on criminal
income.[2]Police calculated that the seizure kept more than 917,000 doses of
marijuana out of the illegal market.[1]
Transit and Transport director Colonel Edwin Orlando Correa Correa said road
controls are closing the way to drug-trafficking organisations and preventing
the country’s road corridors from being used to move drugs and feed illicit
economies.[1]The Transit and Transport directorate said it will maintain
inspection and control activities on national road corridors to detect vehicles
used to move drugs and to pursue the structures behind their sale.[2]

The articles give no separate date for the roadside procedure; 4 November 2026 is the publication date of both outlets and is used as the incident date.
The suspect was described only as a man; no name, age or nationality was published.
No charges, custody decision or court outcome were reported; the case was said to have been left to the competent authorities.
The 500 packages and more than 917,000 doses are police counts and calculations, not separate cannabis figures.
Both accounts repeat the police version and the Transit director's statement; no separate police bulletin was opened.
'Kamikaze' is named as the transport modality but neither article explains what the term means beyond moving the load by road.
Coordinates are for the Guayabetal town centre; the precise Limoncitos checkpoint was not mapped.
