The authorities seized 1,300 kilos of creepy-type marijuana, which were found camouflaged in a tractor-trailer, which was traveling on the roads of La Guajira, at the height of the corregimiento of Palomino.
In the operation, the driver of the vehicle was captured, identified by the authorities as Deivyd Jhoan Fajardo Bermúdez, 30 years old, who stopped the march to be inspected by the uniformed men.

The incident was recorded on the Troncal del Caribe highway, at kilometer 53 of the road that leads from Palomino to Riohacha.
The yerba went to Central America and North America
“Until there, units of the Highway Police arrive and in a thorough investigation inside a container that was transported in that tractor-trailer, a cove with 2,600 pressed packages of marijuana, with a total weight of 1,300 kilos, is found,” said the commander of Police Guajira Colonel Gabriel Garcia.
According to the authorities, the cargo would be stored at this point, to be later transferred to Alta Guajira and sent through international platforms to Central and North America.
The drug is valued at about 1,500 million pesos, affecting with this new blow the illegal finances of criminal groups dedicated to drug trafficking, who have been using La Guajira as a platform to send large amounts of drugs to other countries.
