Authorities surprised a man transporting 266 packages of creepy-type marijuana weighing 200 kilos in a vehicle at calle 79 A con carrera 30 in the Manrique neighbourhood of Medellín.[1] The detained man is 31 years old.[1] He was described as an alleged coordinator of the common organised criminal group La 30, serving the combo La Terraza.[1] Investigators said the seized drug came from the department of Valle del Cauca and was to be sold and distributed in the area known as Lovaina in northeastern Medellín.[1]

The operational commander of the Metropolitan Police of the Valle de Aburrá said the marijuana was intended for sale as microtrafficking in about 200,000 doses.[1] The captured person, the drugs and the seized vehicle were placed at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office.[1]

He must answer for the offence of manufacture, carrying and trafficking of narcotics.[1] Authorities said that so far that year 3,740 people had been captured for drug trafficking offences in the Valle de Aburrá, 2,801 of them in Medellín, with 4,930 kilos seized in the valley and 2,332 of those in Medellín.[1]
