Naval personnel of Mexico’s Secretariat of the Navy detained a man on Avenida Camarón Sábalo in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, during a surveillance patrol.[1] He was carrying 161 bags of suspected drugs, including 18 cigarettes of suspected marijuana.[1] The Navy said he had 116 bags of white powder similar to cocaine, 27 bags of a granulated crystalline substance alleged to be methamphetamine, and 18 further bags, each holding one cigarette made of green herb that appeared to be marijuana.[1] Those 18 cigarettes are the cannabis portion of the seizure; the cocaine and methamphetamine are not counted as cannabis.[1]

Noroeste said the two patrols were on Avenida Camarón Sábalo in Mazatlán and in the sindicatura of Villa Unión, and that the Navy reported suspected cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.[1] The detainee was told of his rights and, with the seized substances, was placed at the disposal of the competent authorities so they could open the corresponding investigation file.[1]

Extraoficial, citing the Fourth Naval Region, reported the same seizure of 116 bags similar to cocaine, 27 bags of a crystalline substance apparently methamphetamine, and 18 bags each containing a cigarette of green herb, allegedly marijuana.[2] That account also said he was informed of his rights and handed over with the substances for the corresponding investigations.[2] No weight was given for the marijuana cigarettes, and neither account named the man or said a court had charged or sentenced him.[2]
