Rollerblade wheels ‘infused’ with cocaine found in package from Colombia leads to $30K raid

Rollerblade wheels infused with cocaine have been discovered inside an intercepted package shipped from Colombia to Wisconsin, leading to a drug raid that turned up more than $30,000 of narcotics and forged papers, authorities said.

The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Team carried out a joint operation to serve a search warrant at a home in Kenosha on Friday.

A week earlier, the sheriff’s office was contacted by HSI about an intercepted package containing a set of Canariam Rollerblades that was en route to Kenosha from Bogota, Colombia, officials said.

The parcel had been flagged because the US Customs and Border Protection identified the wheels on the rollerblade as “suspicious” — and a series of tests was conducted on the wheels.

“It was then discovered the wheels were infused with a gelatin-like substance that tested positive for the presence of cocaine,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Officials then obtained a warrant and HSI helped with the “controlled delivery” of the package at an address in Kenosha.

As soon as the residents of the home accepted the delivery, the sheriff’s tactical response team swooped in to execute the search warrant.

The raid uncovered 1,048 grams of cocaine with an estimated value of $35,000; $3,475 in cash; money transfer documents from Kenosha to Bogota totaling more than $30,000, and “amorous” forged documents, including fake permanent resident alien cads, social security cards and Colombia identification cards.

The investigation is still “active and ongoing,” and charges are being sought against the suspects involved, the office said.
