Couple nabbed with drugs, gun in Cancún’s Rancho Viejo

Cancún, Quintana Roo — A couple was apprehended in possession of 45 doses of narcotics and a firearm during an operation conducted by State Police officers in Supermanzana 245, an area known as Rancho Viejo.

Suspects Caught in Routine Patrol

The incident occurred when officers on routine patrol noticed suspicious behavior from the individuals later identified as Auraluz “N” and Juan Carlos “N.” Authorities observed the pair allegedly exchanging small bags containing illicit substances, prompting immediate intervention.

Upon noticing the police presence, the suspects attempted to flee on an RC200-model motorcycle but were intercepted before escaping.

Seizure of Drugs and Firearm

During the inspection, officers confiscated 13 small bags containing suspected marijuana, 46 doses of crack cocaine, and a short-barreled firearm. The motorcycle used by the suspects was also seized, as it lacked visible documentation at the time of arrest.

The detainees were transported to the base of the Secretariat of Citizen Security and later handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, where their legal status will be determined.
