The powerful criminal group “Clan del Golfo”, losing tens of millions through the fault of Sombra, has already appointed for the head Shepherd dogs reward one hundred thousand dollars. Upon learning of this, Colombian police were forced to provide Sombre reinforced protection during its detours and transportation. It is noteworthy that the reward for killing a service dog was published by drug cartel representatives in a popular social Twitter network, perhaps with a twofold purpose: to attract mass mercenaries craving such a high reward for killing a dog, and in at the same time intimidate Colombian law enforcement.
Journalists first wrote about Sombra in 2016 when she pointed to officers a few kilograms of cocaine hidden in container with bananas. In May last year, the shepherd sniffed 1.1 tons of “Colombian gold” bound for Belgium, and in a month later discovered as much as 5.3 tons of the drug they tried take out to the USA.
