🇲🇽 Ciudad Valles and Matehuala, San Luis Potosí · Mexico
San Luis Potosí’s state civil guard, the Guardia Civil Estatal, detained five
suspected drug sellers in two operations in Ciudad Valles and Matehuala.[1]In
Ciudad Valles officers detained four people: Héctor “N”, aged 20, Alan “N”, aged
18, Bryan “N”, aged 24, and a teenager.[1]Both outlets said those held in
Ciudad Valles were travelling on the motorcycle police seized with them.[2]Plano Informativo also reported the two interventions and said officers seized
drugs, vehicles and objects allegedly used for criminal activity.[2]
The four were seized with doses of cristal, a street term for a
methamphetamine-like stimulant, as well as doses of marijuana and five
ponchallantas, metal spikes used to puncture vehicle tyres.[1]Pulso reported
that the four appeared to belong to a criminal group operating in Ciudad Valles,

officers detained Juan “N”, aged 36, and seized doses of cocaine, marijuana and
cristal, along with three vehicles.[1]

hundred drug doses, together with the seized objects, were placed at the
disposal of the competent authorities for investigation.[1]
Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
Neither account gives a date for the detention; 7 November 2026 is Plano Informativo's publication date and is used as the incident date, while Pulso published on 8 November.
No count or weight was published for the marijuana doses seized in either municipality, so no kilogram figure is recorded.
The sources give a combined total of more than one hundred drug doses covering marijuana, cristal and cocaine together, so it cannot be assigned to cannabis.
No charges, custody ruling or court outcome were reported; the detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent authorities for investigation.
Both outlets reproduce the same Guardia Civil Estatal statement, so they are not independent reporting, and no separate official communiqué was opened.
The age of the teenager detained in Ciudad Valles was not published.
