Overview
- The Navy found 29 floating bales weighing about 1,360 kilograms near Boca Chica, Tecpan de Galeana, during routine patrols, the service reported on Sunday.
- A separate interception the next day targeted a small boat about 195 nautical miles south of Guerrero and recovered 13 bales totaling roughly 829 kilograms while detaining five people.
- Both consignments were moved to Acapulco and turned over to the federal security ministry and the attorney general for ministerial weighing and criminal investigation.
- Officials estimate the two seizures together represent about 463 million pesos in lost revenue for traffickers and prevented roughly 4.2 million street doses from reaching the market.
- Authorities said the operations form part of sustained maritime, air and coastal patrols to disrupt Pacific trafficking routes where criminals use fast boats, at-sea transshipment and abandoned bales, and that maritime seizures under the current administration now exceed 71–72 tonnes.
