San Luis Potosí’s Guardia Civil Estatal detained 31 people in operations and patrols across the state’s four regions.[1] The force described those detained as suspected of involvement in diverse criminal acts.[2] The state security secretariat did not say what period the interventions covered or which offences were attributed to those detained.[1]

In the same balance, officers seized 565.8 grams of marijuana.[1] The haul also included 60 doses of a substance the force identified as cristal, which is excluded from the cannabis figures here.[1] Officers also reported two firearms and 15 metal artefacts known as ponchallantas, spikes used to puncture vehicle tyres.[3] The statement was a statewide balance that did not break down how many detentions or seizures belonged to each region.[1]

The state security secretariat said the detentions came from permanent security and prevention patrols in the four regions.[3] The secretariat said it would keep strengthening prevention, surveillance and anti-crime strategies.[3]
