Authorities Say Mexican Cartels In Colorado

DENVER (AP) - The U.S. Department of Justice says two Mexican cartels are active in five Colorado cities.

A report by the agency's National Drug Intelligence Center says the Juarez and Sinaloa cartels are operating in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, and Longmont.

Police are worried that violence between gangs in Mexico will spread to Colorado.
