A man was detained in San Vicente, Bahía de Banderas, during a joint operation by municipal police, the Mexican Army and the National Guard after officers allegedly found 13 packets of a substance similar to crystal and seven more packets of marijuana on him.[1] The officers were on routine surveillance patrols when they spotted the man carrying a green backpack whose behaviour struck them as suspicious.[1]

During the search, officers found the 20 packets of the substances inside the backpack, distributed in different sizes, which according to the police report may have been destined for sale and distribution.[1] The man and the seized items were handed to the public prosecutor (Ministerio Público), who will determine his legal situation for the probable offence against health and whatever else results.[1] This case is the second recent arrest reported in San Vicente of people found with suspected drugs for possible distribution and sale, in the context of anti-narcomenudeo operations in Bahía de Banderas.[1]
