Agents of Baja California Sur’s state prosecutor’s office, the PGJE, arrested
three men in three operations in Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo on 4
November 2026.[1][2]The operations followed anonymous complaints and
investigations into drug sales, the agency said.[1][2]
The first was a search warrant from a control judge for a home on calle Isla
Tórtola in the El Caribe neighbourhood of Cabo San Lucas, carried out at midday.[1][3]There officers arrested Adrián “N”, 25 and from Guerrero, and seized about
700 grams of marijuana and 38 grams of crystal.[1]A second arrest in San José
del Cabo was of Luis Anselmo “N”, alias “El Wicho”, 39, who had 15 wrappers
holding 19.1 grams of crystal.[1]A third intervention in San José del Cabo
detained Saúl “N”, 36 and also from Guerrero, with 25.2 grams of marijuana and
3.4 grams of crystal.[1]
The two marijuana seizures came to about 725 grams, which the PGJE counted as
1,450 doses.[4]The three operations together yielded narcotics the agency
counted as 2,912.5 doses, the rest of them crystal.[4]The first action was
run by the subprosecutor’s office for high-impact crimes, SADAI, through its
specialised narcotics investigation unit.[1]The men and the drugs were left
with the Public Ministry to investigate possible offences against health in the
form of drug trading.[4][2]
Officers seized bags and wraps containing green, dry plant material and granulated substances, which the agency identified as marijuana and crystal.[3]

The agency gives the event date as 4 November 2026; the Peninsular Digital article gives no event date and is dated 5 November, its publication date.
The marijuana weight for the Cabo San Lucas seizure is given as approximately 700 grams, not a laboratory weight; the report uses the agency's dose arithmetic of 725 grams.
The two San José del Cabo interventions are not located beyond the city; no street or neighbourhood is named.
No charges, detention hearing or court outcome were reported; the case remained with the Public Ministry for investigation.
The dose counts are the agency's own conversion of the seized weights and are not independently verified.
The Peninsular Digital photo is captioned as showing the three detainees, not the drugs, and carries no credit.
Zócalo and Palabra BCS describe the offences as narcomenudeo (street-level dealing), while the report's charges field uses comercio de narcóticos from Peninsular Digital; both describe the same conduct.
The Zócalo page image is credited only as a courtesy image with no agency or photographer named, so it is not established to show this operation.
