Overview

  • Semar recovered more than 900 kg of cocaine southwest of Acapulco after maritime and aerial patrols spotted 30 bultos floating at sea.
  • In a separate patrol off Guerrero, personnel seized about 601 kg from a small boat and detained its four crew members for federal referral.
  • Officials say the consecutive operations raise recent recoveries to roughly 1.5 tonnes, with the administration’s high-sea total cited as more than 46 or about 47 tonnes.
  • The Mexican actions involved coordination among Semar, SEDENA, the National Guard, the FGR and the SSPC, with seized evidence placed under federal custody.
  • In Argentina’s Jujuy province, customs and police used a scanner and videoscope to find 50 packages totaling 52.27 kg of cocaine hidden in a truck’s fuel tank on Ruta 9 near Abra Pampa, arresting three suspects and sending the case to federal prosecutors.
