Earlier this week, the Denver District Attorney's Office announced indictments to 17 individuals accused of taking part in the theft of more than 200 vehicles from the Denver metro area. But new reports suggest that the culprits then traded the high-end pickup trucks with cartel members for cocaine, fentanyl and methamphetamine, which was then smuggled into the U.S. and distributed in Colorado's capital city.
According to court records, the 17 suspects allegedly stole over 200 vehicles worth an approximate $10 million between September 2022 to February 2024. They targeted pickup trucks and SUV's at the Denver International Airport.
