Mexican Navy Seizes 1.5 Tons Of Meth At Port of Mazatlan
A shipment containing 1.5 tons of methamphetamine was seized at the Port of Mazatlan by the Mexican Navy.
The drug was found in a tractor-trailer rig after members of the Naval Ports Protection Unit detected something as the truck passed through an X-Ray machine for inspections, the Ministry of the Navy (SEMAR) said.
Drug sniffing dogs led the team to the bed of the truck, where it was kept hidden in 494 bundles, all wrapped in plastic, in 6 plastic bags.
A video released by SEMAR showed naval personnel and army soldiers using equipment to pull out the drug shipment, which could have yielded at least 1.5 million doses on the streets.
Authorities have not mentioned any arrests in this regard. It is also not known where the truck was headed.
Local media is connecting the shipment to the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa cartel, a transnational criminal organisation that the U.S blames for most of the fentanyl and other drugs which come across the Mexican border, into American cities.
The Mazatlan Port lies on the Pacific Coast of Mexico in the state of Sinaloa, south of the Gulf of California.
It is known globally for the export of shrimp and for being a historic cruise port city.
