Officers of San Luis Potosí’s Guardia Civil Estatal, the state civil guard,
detained three people suspected of distributing drugs in Axtla de Terrazas and
Tamazunchale, in the Huasteca region.[1][2]The three were identified as Herlín
“N”, 50, José “N”, 18, and a teenager.[1][2]The force said the detentions came
from intelligence work and an operational deployment in the Huasteca region.[3]
During the intervention officers seized 620 bags of marijuana.[1][2]Officers
also seized 215 doses of the synthetic drug known locally as “cristal”, which is
not cannabis.[1]
Intelligence information linked the three to drug distribution, and the force
presented the seizure as a blow to narcomenudeo, the small-scale sale of drugs.[1]The three detainees and the substances were placed at the disposal of the
competent authority, which will carry out the investigation and determine legal
responsibility.[1][2]The state Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection
said the civil guard keeps up intelligence, surveillance and operational work
against drug distribution in all four regions of the state.[3]

The accounts give no separate date for the operation; 6 November 2026 is the publication date on both pages and is used as the incident date.
No weight or street value was given for the 620 bags of marijuana, so the seized cannabis quantity is recorded only as a count of bags.
The reports do not say how many of the three detainees were held in Axtla de Terrazas and how many in Tamazunchale, nor whether they were detained together.
No charges, court appearance or custody decision was reported; the three were handed to the competent authority for investigation.
The 215 doses of cristal are not cannabis and are excluded from the cannabis figures; no combined drug total is counted as cannabis.
Two accounts open on the same day carry the same state security statement, and no separate official communiqué was opened.
