The Metropolitan Police of Ibagué, through its Carabineros and canine-guides group, carried out an operation against crime and drug trafficking involving a parcel warehouse used to store and distribute drugs allegedly arriving from Antioquia department.[1] The detector dog Perla, an antinarcotics specialist, signalled on a box sent from Medellín to Ibagué.[1]

The headline described the haul as 630 doses of marimba, a local term for marijuana, hidden in a parcel shipment.[1] Officers seized five packages containing 630 grams of marijuana.[1] They also seized 11 glass capsules containing cannabis oil, whose status was still under investigation after the find in the warehouse.[1]

The seized substances were placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s office.[1] Authorities said such operations would be intensified in several sectors of Ibagué, the capital of Tolima, as a preventive security measure.[1] Authorities asked residents to report drug trafficking on the 167 anti-drugs line and other offences on line 123 or to the nearest police post.[1]
