Chihuahua’s State Investigation Agency (Agencia Estatal de Investigación, AEI) and personnel from Mexico’s Secretariat of National Defence (Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional, Sedena) arrested two men in separate Cuauhtémoc interventions during patrols described as crime-prevention and deterrence rounds.[1] The men were identified as Luis Raúl O. C., 33, and Francisco Iván E. E., 43.[2]

Luis was detained at Francisco I. Madero and Parque Chapultepec in colonia Pascual Orozco with a plastic packet containing 81 grams of a green, dry, odorous herb described as marijuana.[1] Francisco was detained at Quintana Roo and Privada de Guanajuato in colonia Reforma with a packet containing 162 grams of marijuana.[2] The two reported packets together weighed 243 grams (0.243 kg) of marijuana.[1]

The two men and the seized marijuana were taken to Fiscalía de Distrito Zona Occidente, the western-district prosecutor’s office, and placed before the Public Ministry’s Unit for Investigation of Street-Level Drug Dealing.[2] The accounts state that the men are presumed innocent unless a judicial authority declares them responsible by sentence.[2]
