Anti-drug operation: when the Navy ruins the cartels’ business
Ah, Guerrero, that paradise of beaches, sun and… 4.2 tons of cocaine floating as if they were a lost Amazon order? That’s right, friends. In a move worthy of Narcos: Mexico (but with less drama and more effectiveness), the Secretary of the Navy and its entourage of institutions said “no thanks” to drug trafficking in two maritime operations that left traffickers crying in their GoFast.
First act: the helicopter vs. the suspicious sacks
Imagine the scene: a Panther helicopter flies over the waters as if it were a guardian angel with a turbine, and bam! They detect a boat with five guys who were obviously not going fishing. Among their “baggage”: 38 sacks full of white powder that, spoiler alert, was not pancake flour. Result: 1.8 tons of alleged cocaine seized and five Pablo Escobar aspirants arrested.
Second round: cocaine adrift, like my hopes on Tinder
But wait, there’s more. In another stroke of luck (or intelligence, who knows), the Navy found 64 packages floating as if someone had forgotten their “package” at sea. Total: 2.4 tons more of suspicious substance. Conclusion? The drug traffickers lost the equivalent of a truckload of drugs, and the FGR now has material for its next season of CSI: México.
Fun fact: in this administration, there have already been 36 tons of cocaine seized in maritime operations. That’s like 9 billion pesos that the cartels will never see. Hurts? Surely more than losing your cell phone at a party.
So, while the drug traffickers recalculate their “business model”, the Navy continues patrolling as if it were the Guardians of the Galaxy but in a maritime version. Because, in the end, someone has to make Guerrero’s beaches famous for something other than drugs.
