Coordinated Intervention in Ticul and Kanasín
A joint tactical deployment of federal and state forces culminated in the execution of two high-precision anti-drug procedures during the early hours of this Friday in the state of Yucatán. The interventions, carried out simultaneously in the municipalities of Ticul and Kanasín, resulted in the arrest of seven individuals and the seizure of a considerable stash of narcotics and psychotropic drugs, marking a significant blow to drug dealing operations in the region.
Procedure in the Municipality of Ticul
The first operation was carried out in a property located on 17th Street, between 20th and 22nd, in the municipality of Ticul. The action, based on prior intelligence, allowed the arrest of three people for their alleged responsibility in the commission of crimes against health in the form of possession and probable distribution. After the corresponding authorized search, the authorities proceeded to secure material evidence.
The inventory of what was seized included 4.8 kilograms of cannabis (marijuana), 410.9 grams of crystalline methamphetamine (known colloquially as crystal), 23 vaping devices presumably loaded with controlled substances, five marijuana cigarettes and 48 units of cartons impregnated with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). This operation included the participation of an inter-institutional group made up of elements from the Secretary of National Defense (SEDENA), the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), the National Guard, the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) and the Secretariat of Public Security (SSP), the latter with agents from the State Investigative Police and its specialized Canine Unit.
Intervention in the Municipality of Kanasín
At the same time, in the municipality of Kanasín, specifically on 75-B Street, between 64 and 66 of the Mulchechén neighborhood, agents of the Federal Ministerial Police assigned to the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) executed a second search warrant. This was issued by a federal judge, guaranteeing the full legality of the procedure. The raid led to the arrest of four individuals, two of Mexican nationality residing in Yucatán and two from the state of Campeche.
With the fundamental support of K-9 canine pairs trained in detecting narcotic odors, a large shipment of synthetic and natural drugs was located and secured. The seizure included several kilograms of methamphetamine in solid state (crystal), as well as substantial quantities of cocaine hydrochloride and marijuana already packaged for retail sale. As part of the evidence related to the alleged crime, multiple cellular communication devices were also seized, presumably used to facilitate the logistical transactions of the criminal group.
Results and Subsequent Legal Procedure
All individuals detained in both operations, along with the substances and material evidence seized, were made available to the corresponding Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office. This prosecutorial body will be responsible for directing complementary investigations and, where appropriate, formulating formal charges before the judicial authority for crimes against health provided for in Mexican legislation. The success of these actions reflects the effectiveness of interagency coordination and the application of intelligence protocols to dismantle drug trafficking cells at the local level.
The seizure of significant quantities of methamphetamine, a substance with a high addictive potential and social impact, along with marijuana and designer psychotropics such as LSD, highlights the diversification of illicit markets operating in the area. The security forces maintain a permanent strategy of surveillance and action to combat the distribution and consumption of these substances, prioritizing the protection of public health and community safety.
