Cancún, Quintana Roo — A coordinated operation involving state and federal forces led to the seizure of suspected drugs and the detention of three people during two raids in the municipality of Benito Juárez, authorities said.
The searches were led by agents of the State Prosecutor’s Office, working with personnel from the Mexican Army (SEDENA), the Mexican Navy (SEMAR), the National Guard and the Public Security Department.
During the operations, officers located various substances resembling narcotics. The items were seized and transferred for processing and inclusion in the corresponding investigations.
The three detainees were handed over to the competent authority, which will determine their legal status within the constitutional period and continue investigating their suspected involvement in crimes against health, specifically drug dealing on a small scale.
After the raids concluded, the properties were secured and placed under guard while investigators work to determine the origin of the substances and the possible responsibility of those detained.
