Security operations targeting narcotics and health-related crimes have been reported in the state of Guanajuato.

In mid-August, federal forces including the National Guard and the Federal Agency for Ministerial Investigation conducted an operation near a greenhouse on the San Juan del Río-Xilitla highway. The intervention was reportedly linked to an investigation into “potential crimes against health,” though specific details regarding arrests or seizures were not immediately confirmed.

By late August, regional security forces in San Francisco del Rincón conducted a joint operation resulting in the arrest of a 44-year-old man and the seizure of over 6,000 doses of suspected marijuana, crystal meth, and cocaine. This action is part of a broader campaign by the Guanajuato Secretariat of Security and Peace to disrupt distribution networks.
