In Tamaulipas, during a joint operation led by the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) of the Attorney General's Office (FGR) in collaboration with the Secretariat of National Defense (Sedena), the Secretariat of Navy (Semar), the National Guard (GN), and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), two individuals were captured for transporting more than 700 kilograms of methamphetamine hidden in boxes of tostadas. This operation is part of the 'Operativo Frontera Norte' that began on February 5.
The detention took place at a checkpoint in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, where security agents were conducting random inspections. During the inspection of a tractor-trailer supposedly loaded with nopal and chia tostadas, the officers discovered 389 packages wrapped in black material concealing approximately 700.20 kilos of methamphetamine.
After the detention, the two men were informed of their constitutional rights and, along with the seized drugs and vehicle, were handed over to the Public Ministry to determine their legal situation and initiate the corresponding investigation. This action reiterates the commitment of the Security Cabinet to work together to combat drug trafficking and prevent these substances from reaching Mexican youth.
In addition to this case, information was provided regarding a joint operation between the Mexican Army and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office in which 1,028 kilograms of methamphetamine were secured at the border between Ciudad Miguel Alemán (Tamaulipas) and Roma (Texas).
Other drug seizures were carried out at various points in the country. In Culiacán, 101.250 kilos of methamphetamine were seized, and two individuals were arrested, while in Guaymas, Sonora, a person was captured with 10 doses of methamphetamine. In total, more than 700 kilos of methamphetamine were secured in San Fernando, Tamaulipas.
The Security Cabinet announced the results of the 'Operación Frontera Norte,' which included 1,319 arrests and the seizure of firearms, cartridges, drugs, vehicles, and real estate. These actions represented a significant economic impact on criminal organizations. In different states such as Baja California, Chihuahua, and Sinaloa, seizures and arrests related to drug and arms trafficking were carried out.
