About 600 pounds of marijuana were stolen from a secured Colorado State Patrol container in Arapahoe County on Tuesday, April 1, CSP said in a news release Tuesday morning.

While investigating the incident, police determined that the suspects arrived after dark and used a power tool to remove locks both on a side gate and on the container. Officers then identified gaps in the facility’s security process, and have increased camera checks and security walkthroughs since the incident, in addition to undergoing an internal investigation, police said.

Officers first learned of the burglary last Friday when an evidence technician noticed damage on the side gate away from the facility’s entrance, police said. A further investigation found that the container had been broken into and the contents of it had gone missing.

The marijuana had been taken into evidence as part of a highway drug investigation and there is no active court case involving it, police said.
