Last week the police in Colombia Seized over 12 tons of Cocaine from one of the top gangs called the “Gulf Clan”. This was\u00a0Colombia’s\u00a0biggest drug bust in history. Over the past few months they have also arrested over 1500 members of this gang and the leader had recently said that he will turn himself in along with other members, but wither\u00a0he will or not I’m\u00a0not sure. Either way this is a huge victory in Colombia and will hopefully stop\u00a0some of the drug dealing in the Americas. Colombia is one of the leading producers of cocaine\u00a0with an estimated\u00a0output of around 910 tons per year. Out of these 910 tons the police have seized about 362 tons this year, so you can see how its still a very big issue in Colombia. About 90% of the Cocaine in the U.S is from Colombia so the U.S is also very eager to help stop these gangs from dealing\u00a0and had even offered a 5million dollar reward for information on the leader of the “Gulf Clan”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
