Mexico City officers executed a court-ordered search at a property on Calle Capri in the Lomas Estrella neighbourhood of Iztapalapa said to be used for selling and distributing narcotics.[1] Officers detained two women aged 40 and 22 and a man aged 50 during the intervention.[1] The three detainees were placed at the disposal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which will determine their legal situation, and the property was sealed and left under police guard while investigations continue.[1]
During the search, officers seized 92 small plastic bags, a transparent bag, three glass jars and a bag holding approximately 500 grams of loose dried green plant with characteristics similar to marijuana, plus four foil-wrapped bags with the same plant.[1] Officers also seized two long firearms with two metal magazines loaded with five rounds.[1] Officers also seized capsules, packets and bags of white solid material with cocaine-like characteristics and crystalline solid material similar to methamphetamine, which are excluded from the cannabis figures.[1] Officers also seized four mobile phones, a desktop-type CPU computer and a red vehicle.[1]
The operation involved Mexico City SSC officers in coordination with the FGJ, the Navy and the National Guard.[1] Authorities said the deployment was carried out without violence and in strict adherence to police action, use-of-force and human-rights protocols.[1] Milenio confirmed the same Lomas Estrella search left three people detained and about 500 grams of possible marijuana seized.[2]
