When Major Colorado Theft Took Place
According to multiple sources, including Westword, a heist took place in Arapahoe County. Thieves broke into a trailer that had 600 pounds of marijuana and stole all of it.
The heist took place on April 1... And no, this is not an April Fool's Day prank. Authorities did not realize the 600 pounds of marijuana were gone until three days later.
Power tools were used to cut the locks on the trailer.
An evidence technician discovered the damage on the property and the marijuana that was missing.
