Police arrest several members of top drug gang

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.
