Gendarmes of the Rapid Deployment Special Group “Grl D Martín Miguel de Güemes”
opened, with Rosario customs staff, a parcel impounded earlier at the roadside
control of the General Lagos toll booth, and found two wrappers holding 67 grams
of Cannabis Sativa buds hidden inside clothing and a computer tower.[1]
The gendarmes then opened other parcels seized in earlier operations and found
299 stainless-steel thermoses of 1,000 ml, made abroad and without documents
proving their legal origin.[1]They also handed 385 tyres of different makes,
made abroad, to customs staff; the tyres had been seized for breaking the
Customs Code.[1]
The federal courts Nos. 3 and 4 of Rosario handled the cases and ordered the
drug confiscated and the thermoses and tyres handed to AFIP-DGA, Argentina’s tax
and customs agency, under law 22.415, the customs code.[1]
RedBoing, a Rosario news site, carried the release the same day under a headline
naming the General Lagos toll booth and giving the same 67 grams of buds.[2]03442 Noticias, an Entre Ríos outlet, republished the force’s release on 10
December 2023 with the same figures and the same courts.[3]Ceibal Jujuy’s
version carries the same three paragraphs, from the 67 grams to the order of the
federal courts, without adding any figure.[4]

The release gives no date for the parcel openings; 8 December 2023 is its publication date and is used as the incident date, and the parcels had been impounded at earlier, undated roadside controls.
No person was reported detained or charged, and the federal courts dealt with the drug and the goods rather than with any named suspect.
The release does not say where the General Lagos toll booth is; it lies on the Rosario–Buenos Aires motorway but no opened source gives its exact location, so Rosario city is used at locality precision.
No street value was published for the 67 grams.
The release does not state the charges or the drug law applied to the cannabis, though it cites customs law 22.415 for the goods.
RedBoing, 03442 Noticias and Ceibal Jujuy reproduce the force's release without independent confirmation, so only one primary account exists.
The page's five photos carry no captions or credits; none is confirmed to show the buds, so none is copied as a cover and the captions describe their placement only.
The release does not say whether anyone claimed the parcels or what happened to the 67 grams after confiscation.
Police in Salta detained a 26-year-old driver during a vehicle checkpoint on Ruta Nacional 9 in Campo Alegre, La Caldera. Officers from the División Investigación Narcocriminal 2 seized 70 doses of marijuana and cocaine after preliminary field tests.
Road police at the Subfluvial Tunnel control post identified a 33-year-old Buenos Aires man carrying cocaine and marijuana in a van. Field tests confirmed 2.1 grams of marijuana alongside 5.9 grams of cocaine, and the case was treated as simple possession.
Cleaning staff found a package of marijuana on a long-distance bus that had arrived at the Chajarí terminal in Entre Ríos after leaving Paraná, and the drivers called the police. Officers of the Federación department drug division tested and seized the substance and left the case with the prosecutor's office, with no one arrested.
Chaco police securing a woman's belongings from a room she rented in Resistencia found two cannabis seedlings, marijuana flowers and indoor growing equipment, and anti-drug officers' field tests were positive for marijuana. The woman was detained after another clash with the owner and released on the order of the anti-drug prosecutor's office, which kept the items but not the cash.
