Officers of the capital’s Guardia Municipal seized marijuana that had been abandoned in the Juan Ruiz de Alarcón park in colonia Virreyes.[1] The seizure came during preventive security and surveillance patrols in the city’s western sector.[2] Near the place popularly known as the Jardín del Salesiano, officers detected an individual allegedly consuming the drug, who fled on seeing the police and left behind a mariconera-style bag.[1]

Inside the bag officers found several plastic bags containing dry green herb with characteristics similar to marijuana.[1] The seized herb weighed approximately 47.3 grams.[1]

Officers secured and packaged the drug to present it as evidence to the State Attorney General’s Office, which is to continue the corresponding investigations.[1] The officers who acted were agents of the capital’s Guardia Municipal, part of the municipal Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection.[3] A second outlet described the same packaging of the drug for presentation to the state prosecutor’s office, which continues the investigations.[4]
