Officers of the Fuerza Estatal de Seguridad Ciudadana (FESC), Baja California’s
state citizen-security force, detained a 51-year-old man identified as José
Ramón “N” in the Rincones de Puebla neighbourhood of Mexicali.[1][2] The man is
originally from Cananea, Sonora.[1][2] Officers informed him of the reason for
his detention and handed him and the seized substance to the State Attorney
General’s Office (FGE), before its specialized narcomenudeo, or street-level
drug dealing, prosecution unit, which will determine his legal situation.[1][2]
The stop happened while officers patrolled Avenida Atzitzintla and approached
the man after conduct that prompted a preventive intervention, informing him why
they were present and obtaining his authorization for an inspection.[1] The
search found 171 packets containing a dry green herb described as having the
characteristics of marijuana.[1][2] Police put the approximate weight at 805.2
grams, reported as more than 800 grams.[1]
The FESC action was described as part of preventive operations against
narcomenudeo.[1] A second outlet’s account likewise attributes the detention
on Avenida Atzitzintla to an official bulletin and reports the same 171 packets
and 805.2 grams.[3]

Open questions the AI reported
- The articles give only the publication date of 2 November 2026 and no separate day for the patrol and arrest, so the publication date is used as the incident date.
- The substance is described only as having the characteristics of marijuana, and no laboratory confirmation is reported.
- The detainee's legal situation after referral to the FGE narcomenudeo unit is not reported.
- Both accounts appear to follow the same official bulletin, so no independent weighing or separate official statement is established.
- The submitted AMP URL ends in n912122 while the existing report cites a Uniradio variant ending in n912123 on a different Uniradio domain with the same title and text.
- The page carries a lead image captioned with the headline, but the caption does not establish that it shows this seizure, so no media entry is added.
