Cozumel, Mexico — A woman identified as Alicia “N” was arrested for her alleged involvement in crimes against health during a preventive surveillance operation conducted by Cozumel municipal police officers.
According to official information, the detainee is allegedly linked to the purchase and sale of illicit substances in small quantities on the island.
The incident occurred while officers were conducting crime prevention patrols and observed a female person on a scooter handling a plastic bag containing white powder with characteristics similar to cocaine.
