detained three people they described as suspected drug sellers during ongoing
operations against narcomenudeo, the small-scale sale of drugs, in the Zona
Huasteca.[1]In the La Granja neighbourhood of the municipality of San Vicente
they arrested a couple identified as Heriberto, 35, and Carmen, 36.[2]Officers said they found three doses of cristal, a methamphetamine-like
stimulant that is not cannabis, and two doses of marijuana on the couple.[2]
The guard said Carmen, who is from Michoacán, has an outstanding arrest warrant
in that state for aggravated robbery, and that the Michoacán authorities would
be notified.[2]Separately, officers on patrol in the Lomas del Mirador
neighbourhood of Ciudad Valles stopped a 24-year-old who gave his name as
Anatolio N., saying he was behaving suspiciously and committing administrative
offences.[2]Anatolio N. was 24 and was also carrying a considerable amount of
drugs and metal artefacts known as ponchallantas.[2]

ponchallantas, metal spikes used to puncture tyres, after reading him his
rights.[2]The three detainees and the seized items were handed to the public
prosecutor, the Ministerio Público, which will decide their legal situation for
offences against health and any other offences that result.[2]
