As part of efforts to prevent the trafficking and production of synthetic drugs in the country, personnel from the Navy, in coordination with the Ministry of National Defense (Defensa), the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), the National Guard (GN), and the Ministry of Public Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), seized approximately 4,900 kilograms of methamphetamine that will not reach the hands of young people. In addition, they located and neutralized two clandestine laboratories used for the production of drugs in the ejido of Loma y Tecomate, in the municipality of Culiacán, Sinaloa.

This action was carried out when members of the Mexican Navy, while conducting land patrols, located two laboratories where they found approximately 4,900 kilograms of methamphetamine, 3,180 liters of chemicals, six 1,500-liter reactors, four 500-liter reactors, 13 100-liter distillers, a 1,000-liter mixer, and various other materials.
