Municipal police in Ciudad Juárez arrested seven people in separate cases on
suspicion of drug offences in their retail-dealing form, known in Mexico as
narcomenudeo.[1]
Two marijuana finds came in the same case in the Morelos IV neighbourhood, at
the crossing of Otochique and Quintal streets, where officers seized 33
marijuana cigarettes and another 194 grams of the same drug.[1]The Municipal
Public Security Secretariat said one of those detentions involved two people, a
21-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man, and that the other five cases involved
suspected heroin, cocaine and crystal, the local name for methamphetamine.[2]The other five arrests produced heroin, cocaine and crystal but no cannabis, and
those quantities are not counted with the marijuana.[2]
The seven arrests took place during surveillance patrols in five neighbourhoods
of the city, El Diario reported, citing the Municipal Police.[2]After being
read their rights, the seven people were placed at the disposal of the competent
authority, which will decide their legal situation.[2]The municipal force
referred the cases for alleged crimes against health in the narcomenudeo form.[2]The accounts repeat a Municipal Public Security Secretariat statement,
which El Bordo published under a note crediting the agency.[3]

Open questions the AI reported
The sources give no separate date for the stops; 7 November 2026 is the publication date of El Diario and El Bordo and is used as the incident date.
The marijuana weight is stated as 194 grams, without any weight given for the 33 marijuana cigarettes, so the weight figure does not include them.
No charge sheet, custody ruling, trial or sentence was reported; the seven people were only placed at the disposal of the competent authority.
The Segundos a Segundo and El Bordo accounts transcribe the neighbourhood as Carlos Catillo Peraza, while El Diario writes Carlos Castillo Peraza; the registry spelling appears to be the correct one.
No direct image address could be recovered from El Bordo's copy of the shared SSPM handout, so only the El Diario photo is linked.
