This gang had control of the sale of narcotic substances at retail throughout the urban area of the municipality of Córdoba, Quindío. For this illicit activity they used minors in the distribution of hallucinogens.
In compliance with the Ayacucho Plan, the National Army, in the process of an inter-institutional operation, dismantled a gang that commits crimes such as selling narcotics known as Los Puentes, with the arrest of eight individuals who allegedly committed crimes in the municipality of Córdoba, in the department of Quindío.
For several months, investigative and technical work was carried out that led to obtaining evidence material to make the arrest of eight individuals who would be part of this gang.
The troops arrived at an urban area of the municipality, together with the CTI (Technical Investigations Corps) agents of the Attorney General's Office, to carry out searches and raids on houses previously identified as places of storage and distribution of drugs, a criminal activity that directly hit the young inhabitants of the region.
In these buildings, 100 doses of bazuko (crack), elements for the packaging of the substances and cash were found by troops, and later put into custody of the authority.
The eight arrested individuals were prosecuted for the crimes of association to commit aggravated crimes, trafficking, manufacture or carrying of narcotics, illicit destination of real estate and use of minors to commit crimes.
