- On July 18 two warrants executed in Tarímbaro produced a combined 722 reported doses of drugs and three detentions, with officials reporting 16.6 grams of methamphetamine (about 415 doses) plus marijuana at one address and about 250 doses of methamphetamine at another.
- The Fiscalía obtained four vinculaciones a proceso in separate cases in Morelia, Álvaro Obregón and Zitácuaro, with charges ranging from possession to sale and supply, and judges imposing measures that include pretrial detention and other restrictions.
