Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Federal and state authorities conducted a major raid on a property in Playa del Carmen on Saturday night as part of a drug-related investigation.
The operation targeted a building on 34th Street between 20th and 25th Avenues, in the border area between the Zazil-Ha and Gonzalo Guerrero neighborhoods.
The State Prosecutor’s Office led the search, supported by personnel from the National Guard, the Mexican Navy, and the Mexican Army, who deployed a large-scale security operation in the area.
