Overview

• State and federal teams executed a court‑authorized cateo at a restaurant at kilometer 14 on the Sonoyta–San Luis Río Colorado highway.
• Agents recovered a 200‑liter container holding about 40 liters of apparent hydrocarbon, 26 empty 20‑liter jerrycans, two hydraulic pumps, three hoses and two additional 200‑liter containers.
• The FGJES said the operation followed strict legal procedures with chain‑of‑custody protections and safeguards for people and property.
• Municipal Firefighters and Civil Protection supported the operation to handle potentially hazardous materials safely.
• Authorities presented the action as a setback to local fuel diversion networks, and local reporting notes speculation that the site may have been used for illicit fuel trade.
