Criminal activity and law enforcement in Ibagué

Overview

In mid-September 2026, authorities in Ibagué, Colombia, responded to localized violent crimes, including a domestic machete attack on a father and a home invasion involving a woman who had reportedly been stalked.

By late September, law enforcement operations shifted toward dismantling organized criminal structures. Police and the Fiscalía General de la Nación dismantled the ‘Scorpion’ gang, resulting in the arrest of five individuals accused of trafficking marijuana, cocaine, and bazuco. Additionally, raids targeting an extortion group known as ‘Los Brujos’ led to the seizure of cash, ammunition, numerous credit cards, and payment booklets, though no arrests were made during that specific operation.
