Major Drug Bust: WCDTF Seizes Narcotics in Colorado
Staff Report / Greeleylocal.org
In December 2023, the Weld County Drug Task Force (WCDTF) received information about suspects in Greeley distributing large amounts of narcotics in Weld County. These suspects were linked to a larger drug trafficking organization spanning Northern Colorado and Denver. WCDTF collaborated with the DEA, FBI, and Northern Colorado Drug Task Force for the investigation.
The probe revealed narcotics being trafficked into Colorado from different regions in the US and Mexico. On March 26th, a vehicle on I-70 was stopped, leading to the seizure of 100,000 M30 suspected fentanyl pills, 4 pounds of cocaine, and 2 pounds of methamphetamine.
Search warrants executed on March 28th and 29th in Greeley, Fort Collins, and Denver uncovered:
- 685 grams of methamphetamine
- 110,000 counterfeit M-30 pills suspected of containing fentanyl
- 5 pounds of cocaine
- 974 grams of heroin
- 3 firearms
- Bulk amounts of ammunition
The investigation resulted in several arrests on narcotics and weapons charges. The Weld County District Attorney’s Office will handle the prosecution. For any information on this case, contact Commander Scott Smith at 970-351-5211.
