🇲🇽 Valle Verde, Cancún, Benito Juárez, Quintana Roo · Mexico
Two men identified as Alfredo “N” and Irving Ismael “N” were detained in the
irregular Valle Verde neighbourhood of Benito Juárez, Cancún, after state police
found them apparently exchanging small bags of illicit substances.[1]The
intervention was carried out by officers of the Secretaría de Seguridad
Ciudadana, the state citizen security secretariat.[1]The secretariat said in
its press card that the officers were on a surveillance patrol when they saw the
two men exchanging bags of green plant material with characteristics similar to
marijuana.[2]The agents identified themselves, explained the reason for the
intervention and carried out a preventive inspection of both men and the
motorcycle they were riding.[1]
The inspection found 69 transparent bags of green plant material, presumed to be
marijuana.[1]Seven other bags contained solid crystalline fragments with
characteristics similar to the drug known as crystal, which is not cannabis and
is excluded from the cannabis count.[1]Officers also seized an Italika 200Z
motorcycle after a check of C5 databases showed it had been reported stolen.[1]A purple backpack, a fanny pack and a mobile phone were seized as well.[3]
The two men and the seized items were placed at the disposal of the Fiscalía
Especializada en Combate al Delito de Narcomenudeo, the state prosecutor’s
specialised unit for street-level drug offences, which will determine their
legal situation.[1]

No separate date or time was reported for the detention; 11 November 2026 is the date of the police press card and of the reports and is used as the incident date.
The plant material and the crystalline substance were described only as resembling marijuana and crystal; no laboratory confirmation was reported.
No charges, custody ruling or court outcome were reported; the case was left with the narcomenudeo prosecutor.
