Mexican security forces conduct widespread drug and weapon seizures
Mexican federal and state authorities conducted a series of widespread security operations resulting in significant seizures of narcotics, weapons, and stolen goods across multiple states.
In Sinaloa, a joint operation by the Navy (Semar), the Attorney General's Office (FGR), and the Ministry of Security (SSPC) dismantled a large-scale clandestine methamphetamine laboratory near Los Cedritos. Authorities seized approximately 750 kilograms of methamphetamine and over 1,200 kilograms of chemical precursors and substances.
In Tlaxcala, a coordinated effort between the Mexican Army, FGR, and SSPC led to the seizure of 211,800 liters of gasoline, along with four tractor-trailers and six fuel tankers in Apizaco.
Other notable actions included: - The seizure of 5.4 million smuggled cigarettes at Mexico City's AICM, hidden in shipments declared as speakers and scales. - The arrest of an influencer in Guadalajara, known as ‘Oscorp’, for alleged involvement in child pornography and human trafficking. - Multiple raids in Chihuahua and Nuevo León resulting in the seizure of firearms, explosives, and methamphetamine. - The recovery of stolen vehicles and motorcycles in Soledad de Graciano Sánchez. - The seizure of illegal gambling machines and narcotics in Guaymas, Sonora.
