Federal Forces Dismantle Three Clandestine Meth Labs Across Durango, Sinaloa and Michoacán

Officials cite a coordinated federal strategy to choke off industrial-scale synthetic drug production.

Overview

  • Authorities report seizing more than 700 kilograms of methamphetamine along with about 12,000 liters and roughly two tons of precursor chemicals.
  • In Carricitos, Durango, security forces found a lab during a ground patrol and secured 1,150 liters and 695 kilograms of precursors and related materials.
  • In Los Cedros, Sinaloa, a dismantled site yielded approximately 750 kilograms of finished product plus 1,150 liters and 695 kilograms of chemical inputs.
  • In La Escondida, Michoacán, personnel seized 9,700 liters and 500 kilograms of precursors as well as laboratory equipment and tools.
  • Semar, Sedena, SSPC, FGR and the National Guard led the coordinated actions, inactivated the sites to prevent reuse, and drew support from SSPC chief Omar García Harfuch’s assertion that the operations weaken criminal finances, with no arrests reported.
