Officers of the Guardia Civil Estatal, San Luis Potosí’s state civil guard, detained four people in the metropolitan zone and in Ciudad Valles on suspicion of narcomenudeo, the small-scale sale of drugs.[1] The stops were separate security operations after intelligence work and deployments across the state’s four regions, the guard said.[1]

In the metropolitan zone they detained Jorge “N”, 21, Francisco “N”, 26, and Adán “N”, 32.[1] From those three, Pulso, citing the guard, reported at least 40 doses of marijuana and at least 30 doses of crystal.[1] Plano Informativo described the same stop as doses of a herb with characteristics similar to marijuana and a substance similar to crystal, without stating how many.[2]

In Ciudad Valles, state officers detained Eduardo “N”, 38, from Celaya, Guanajuato.[1] Pulso said he was carrying at least 20 doses of suspected marijuana and nine of crystal.[1] Plano Informativo confirmed doses of suspected marijuana and crystal from him but gave no count.[2] All four were placed at the disposal of the Fiscalía General del Estado, the state prosecutor’s office, which will decide their legal situation.[1]

The state Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection said intelligence, surveillance and prevention would continue across the state’s regions as part of the strategy against delitos contra la salud, offences against health.[1]
