Security forces arrested two women and two men in three interventions in Juchipila, southern Zacatecas, seizing 106 suspected drug doses of which 31 were marijuana, plus methamphetamine and cocaine doses, 35 tire spikes, radios, a motorcycle and a taxi. The four were handed to the competent authority while prosecutors establish their legal situation.
Security forces in Zacatecas’s southern region arrested four people and seized
suspected drugs in three separate interventions in Juchipila.[1]The first
intervention involved Mexican Army, National Guard, FRIZ and FGJEZ investigative
police personnel, who caught a woman and a man after they tried to flee in
different directions and were chased on foot.[1]The second intervention on
Calle Narciso González detained a woman who tried to flee when she saw the
police units.[1]The third intervention in colonia Centro stopped the driver
of a taxi who was allegedly photographing the police vehicles and who tried to
evade them while throwing metal objects known as ponchallantas.[1]
Together the three interventions yielded 106 doses of suspected drugs, of which
31 were substances with characteristics of marijuana, 43 probable
methamphetamine and 32 probable cocaine.[1]Officers also seized 35 metal
tire-puncturing spikes known as ponchallantas, two communication radios, a
motorcycle and a Nissan Tsuru III used as a public taxi.[1]The four
detainees, two men and two women, were handed to the competent authority with
the drugs, objects and vehicles while investigations determine their legal
situation.[1]The three interventions took place in the municipality of
Juchipila, in southern Zacatecas, according to the state Peace and Security
Construction Board cited by AlkimiaTV.[2]
The state government said the operations formed part of a coordinated security
deployment against criminal activity and to reinforce surveillance in the
southern region of the state.[2]
