Under Mexico’s National Public Security Strategy, the National Guard and the Mexican Army, together with FEMDO of the Attorney General’s Office and the Criminal Investigation Agency of the FGR, executed a technical investigation order at a property in the La Tinajera locality of the municipality of Degollado, Jalisco.[1] The property was operated by a criminal group led by Heraclio ‘N’, alias Tío Laco, identified as the regional boss of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel in the area.[1]

At the site the authorities seized firearms, cartridges, two synthetic-drug production centers and two marijuana greenhouses.[1] Machinery, tools and various items recovered on the property were used to make methamphetamine and to process and extract high-purity cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from marijuana.[2]

Everything seized was handed over to the Federal Attorney General’s Office, which is continuing its investigations and forensic work to determine the legal situation arising from the operation.[1] No arrests or charges were reported in this operation; the authorities said the legal situation of the people involved is still to be determined.[3]
