Year Long Investigation Nets 20 Pounds of Pot

How much does a year long investigation cost? I hope that they confiscated enough to pay for that investigation, but I doubt if they did. (Just by comparison-the bag of dog food in my kitchen weighs nearly 40 pounds).

A year-long undercover drug investigation by Denver police has netted 20-pounds of marijuana, more than $240,000 and a dozen arrests.

The investigation, which targeted an interstate ring that allegedly shipped about 1,000 pounds of marijuana through Denver monthly, was wrapped up on Thursday, Denver police said in a press release.

Detectives watched locations in west Denver and served search warrants simultaneously, police said.

The Denver Police Metro SWAT Team, narcotics detectives, patrol officers, West Metro Task Force members and ICE agents carried out the raids and arrests.

I also would like to know how much money was spent
For everyone arrested there will be two more to take their place and the main leader will finger the little guys who will go to jail while he goes free.
Now ain't justice great in Colorado.
