Hundreds of pounds of marijuana stolen from a Colorado State Patrol evidence container were recovered from a Denver residence during a search Thursday, police say.
Troopers and Denver police officers raided the property at about 6 p.m., finding three-quarters of the roughly 600 pounds of drugs that were taken earlier this month, according to a CSP news release.
No suspects were present at the property, and no arrests were made, though law enforcement also found a stolen pickup truck that was not connected to the theft.
Colorado State Patrol Trooper Sherri Mendez declined to say where the property was located, citing the need to protect the agency’s ongoing investigation.
Denver police have also recovered a Chevy Silverado truck that troopers previously said was involved in the crime, according to the release.
The theft was discovered April 4, when an evidence technician walking through a CSP storage lot in Arapahoe County noticed a damaged gate.
Investigators then discovered that a trailer on the lot had been broken into and its contents — several hundred pounds of trafficked marijuana, scheduled for destruction — were gone.
The thieves are believed to have used power tools to remove locks from the gate and trailer April 1.
Troopers said in the news release that the recovered marijuana has since been placed in “a secure interior location” managed by CSP.
Anyone with information about the theft is encouraged to contact the agency at 303-239-4501.
