Regional Raids Seize Over 800 Kg of Drugs, With Sonora Meth Bust at 481.5 Kg

Officials credit joint intelligence work for major drug hauls across three countries.

Overview

  • Sonora’s state prosecutor reported 481.5 kilograms of methamphetamine secured in a San Luis Río Colorado search tied to a homicide case, with the site processed by forensic teams and evidence placed under prosecutorial custody.
  • The National Guard said coordinated actions in Sonora and Michoacán yielded more than 800 kilograms of narcotics overall and a heavy weapons cache, including about 330 kilograms of crystal and high‑caliber arms found near Huetamo.
  • In Hermosillo, a joint AMIC–PESP–Army search dismantled a retail drug point, seized an AK‑47, bags of crystal and marijuana, a scale, and a Nissan Versa with a theft report that is under investigation for use in an October attack on a municipal officer.
  • Interagency policing in Sinaloa captured an armed suspect in a stolen car and seized an M4‑type rifle, a pistol, loaded magazines and tire spikes, while Nogales patrols detained two alleged street dealers with multiple crystal packets.
  • Parallel crackdowns targeted violent and extortion crimes as Córdoba police in Argentina made arrests in a viralized shop robbery and captured 'El Mexicanito' wanted for homicide, and Peru’s new extortion division in Comas detained five from 'Los Feroces de Lima' and recovered a stolen mototaxi.
