Searches in Tulum and Chetumal result in six arrests and drugs seized.

The State Attorney General's Office, in coordination with members of the Mexican Army, the Navy, the National Guard, and the Ministry of Citizen Security, executed four search warrants in separate operations to combat drug trafficking. As a result, they seized suspected drugs, firearms, live ammunition, and a vehicle. In addition, six people were arrested near the locations searched.

In the first search, carried out in Tulum, investigative police officers entered a bar on Mercurio Oriente Street. There, they found substances similar to marijuana, cocaine, and crystal meth, as well as live ammunition, a metal grinder, and firearms.

Near the bar, five men identified as Iván “N”, José Manuel “N”, Cecilio “N”, Miguel “N” and Erwin Darío “N” were arrested, who are accused of their alleged involvement in crimes against health, in the form of drug dealing.

In a second operation, investigative agents conducted a search of a home on Saturno Street in the Centro neighborhood of Tulum. During the operation, they seized a firearm with a loaded magazine, several small bags containing a solid substance resembling glass, live ammunition, and a Jeep.

The third search took place on a property located on Tankah Street, within the Antal condominium, on the coastal area of ​​Tulum. There, they found dried marijuana-like weed, small bags of crystal meth, two gram scales, and a cell phone, as part of an investigation related to drug sales.
