Overview
- - The Navy’s Coast Guard unit recovered floating cargo Sunday about 103 nautical miles from Salina Cruz in the Gulf of Tehuantepec.
- - Sailors gathered 78 black-wrapped bales holding 2,155 packages of white powder with an official weight of about 2.154 tonnes.
- - The bales were tied together with rope, which kept them from drifting apart and made collection faster for the patrol boats.
- - Prosecutors took custody of the shipment and opened an investigation, and no arrests were reported as tests will confirm the substance.
- - Security officials estimate a 4.3 million peso hit to traffickers and cite roughly 65 tonnes seized at sea since President Claudia Sheinbaum took office.
