🇦🇷 Paraje Chalicán, Jujuy (Ruta Nacional 34, kilometre 1,212) · Argentina
Gendarmes of Sección “Chalicán”, part of Escuadrón 60 “San Pedro” of Gendarmería
Nacional, opened five parcels that had been seized from a courier company’s
transport on Ruta Nacional Nº 34 at kilometre 1,212 in Jujuy.[1]The Federal
Guarantees Court No. 1 of Jujuy, a Juzgado Federal de Garantías, authorised the
opening of the parcels.[1]The gendarmes opened the parcels in front of
witnesses.[1]
Inside they found 111 packages of cannabis sativa weighing 117 kilos402 grams
in total.[1]The release places the parcel operation at Paraje Chalicán, a
rural locality in Jujuy, and describes the packages as bricks of cannabis
sativa.[1]No one was arrested in the parcel procedure; the release names no
detainee in it, and the federal prosecutor’s office ordered only the drug
seized.[1]
The same release reports a separate stop at kilometre 1,169 of the same road,
where gendarmes of Sección “Núcleo” found 66 kilos13 grams of cocaine in a
hidden compartment of a car and the federal prosecutor’s office ordered a man
and a woman detained.[1]Because the release treats the two checks as separate
procedures, the cocaine stop is described here only to show what is excluded;
its 66 kilos13 grams are not counted as cannabis.[1]

The release gives no separate date for the parcel procedure; 10 September 2026 is its publication date and stands in for the incident date.
No street value or laboratory analysis of the 117 kilos 402 grams was published; the weight is the force's own tally of the 111 packages.
No arrest, charge, indictment or court outcome is reported in the parcel case; only the drug was seized by order of the federal prosecutor's office.
No independent outlet reported the Chalicán seizure; the account comes from the ministry's own release.
The four handout photographs on the page carry no captions or credits, and two of them show the cocaine car stop, so only the two placed beside the parcel passage are listed as pictures of this seizure.
The release does not say whether the sender or the intended recipient of the five parcels, or anyone at the courier company, was identified.
