Police arrested a man who, according to the preliminary report, was transporting 10,000 grams of marijuana in the La Aldea sector of San Jerónimo, Antioquia, on the road between Medellín and Santa Fe de Antioquia, on Tuesday 10 November 2026.[1] The detention took place during registration and control checks carried out by uniformed officers of the Seccional de Tránsito y Transporte, the traffic and transport section, on that road in western Antioquia.[1] During the check the officers found the substance, which the report describes as equivalent to 10 kilograms of marijuana and says the arrested man was transporting.[1]
