At the request of the Public Ministry, Luis Fernando Cuadros Rey, a Colombian national, was deprived of liberty for his alleged responsibility in the trafficking of 12 marijuana packages.

According to a press release released by the prosecution, this stash was seized between October 10 and 11 of this year by officials of the Bolivarian National Police (PNB) in the Rubio parish, the capital of the Junín municipality in the state of Táchira.

According to the investigation, in the morning hours of that date, PNB officials were providing security services in the area when they spotted Cuadros Rey who was traveling on the San Antonio del Táchira-Rubi road and taking a nervous attitude in the face of police intervention.

During the inspection to which he was subjected, a bag containing a pair of synthetic panel-like wrappers containing marijuana were found inside, as well as a cell phone with a Colombian telephone number. As a result of the findings, Cuadros Rey was arrested in flagrante delicto to be left at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor's Office.

The next day, and as part of the relevant investigations, a search was carried out at the home of Cuadros Rey where another 10 marijuana wrappers were found for a total of 12, whose gross weight was four kilos and 970 grams.

During the presentation hearing, the 21st Public Prosecutor's Office of Táchira charged Cuadros Rey with the alleged commission of illegal trafficking in narcotic and psychotropic substances in the form of concealment.

Once the elements of conviction concerning the case had been evaluated, the 1st Control Court in that Andean entity issued the above-mentioned deprivation of liberty against Cuadros Rey and ordered his temporary detention at the headquarters of the PNB in San Cristóbal.
