The Secretary of Citizen Security and Protection, Omar García Harfuch, is in Sinaloa, a state engulfed in a wave of violence with more than 800 deaths. In a joint operation, the Army and the National Guard dismantled 3 clandestine laboratories and 9 drug concentration areas in the municipalities of Culiacán and Cosalá. They also neutralized 3 clandestine synthetic drug laboratories in Cosalá, thanks to naval intelligence information.
During a supervision accompanied by the Secretary of National Defense, Ricardo Trevilla Trejo, the security efforts and action lines implemented in Sinaloa were reviewed.
