Agents of Chihuahua’s Fiscalía General del Estado seized a package containing 49 grams of marijuana and military-style clothing during a court-ordered search of a house in the Reforma neighbourhood of Cuauhtémoc.[1] The state prosecutor’s office had not reported any arrests from the operation.[1]

The search was carried out at a house on Calle 12, between Quintana Roo and Chiapas, under a judicial warrant from an investigation into crimes against health.[1] Officers of the Agencia Estatal de Investigación, the state investigative agency attached to the Fiscalía de Distrito Zona Occidente, took part, together with personnel of the Mexican Army.[2] The inspection was led by the public prosecutor in charge of the investigation file.[2]

During the inspection, officers found dried cannabis inside a black plastic bag.[1] The bag held 49 grams of a green, dry, odorous herb with the characteristics of marijuana.[3] Officers also seized a green pixelated military-style shirt and a harness with shoulder straps marked GAFE 16.[1]

The seized items were turned over to the Unidad de Investigación contra el Narcomenudeo, the unit that investigates small-scale drug dealing, so the inquiry could continue.[1] The case file concerns crimes against health in the modality of narcomenudeo, and investigators were seeking to identify those responsible.[3]
