The Greeley police SWAT team conducted a high-risk stop on a vehicle occupied by the Carrillo men on Oct. 27 in the 800 block of 3rd Avenue in Greeley, according to a Greeley police news release.
A K9 officer deployed his K9 partner, who detected the odor of narcotics on the vehicle. A search of the vehicle uncovered a handgun and cocaine inside, police said.
After Both Isaac and Ramiro were taken into custody for outstanding arrest warrants and the narcotics located in the vehicle, the SWAT team executed a search warrant for the Carrillo residence in Greeley.
After securing the location, Greeley police turned the search over to members of the Weld County Drug Task Force.
Investigators uncovered a large quantity of cocaine that appeared to be bundled into amounts intended for distribution, the release said, as well as a larger amount that appeared to have been broken from a full kilogram of pressed cocaine.
The total amount of cocaine found during the search warrant and traffic stop was around three pounds — valued at more than $50,000, according to Greeley police. Investigators also found a large amount of U.S. currency at various locations in the residence.
