On June 28, 2025, the Atlanta Police Department, in association with Atlanta’s Airport Customs and Border Protection, made a big arrest at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
A post on Facebook from the police department revealed they had arrested a man from Brazil who was carrying an estimated amount worth $2.97 million in narcotics.
“On June 28th, 2025, Atlanta’s Airport Customs and Border Protection in conjunction with Atlanta Police Department seized a large amount of THC extracted products /marijuana from a male flying out of the Atlanta Airport, in route to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Mr. Vance Ray Randolph was placed into custody after officers and agents discovered a large number of narcotics in his luggage,” revealed the post. It further added that the officers seized a total of 12.35 lbs. of THC Wax, 34.39 lbs. of Hashish, 4.6 lbs. of Marijuana and 1.21 lbs. of Pasty Marijuana during the raid.
The Facebook post also showed a video of the police finding the narcotics in the luggage, with several packages being removed and placed into another bag.
Vance Ray Randolph, 22, was then sent to Clayton County Jail and charged with trafficking of marijuana before being released on June 30, per USA TODAY.
He was trying to head to Sao Paolo, Brazil, before the drugs were found in his luggage by the officers.
Even though marijuana is legal in various states across the US, Randolph could face other charges once this case goes to court due to the amount he was found with.
