Rastrojos

Authorities captured 15 alleged members of ‘Los Rastrojos,’ Colombia’s largest drug trafficking organization, in the northwestern part of the country, according to Caracol Radio.

Forty agents raided a tourist cabin in the department of Sucre where the suspects were in hiding. Three of them were minors.

“We seized two rifles, three pistols, a revolver, immobilized two motorcycles and confiscated a large quantity of marijuana,” said Colonel Orlando Polo Obispo, commander of Sucre’s police force.

The suspects will go before a judge in the coming hours.
