Law enforcement officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security and the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City executed a search warrant at a residence in Iztapalapa, leading to the arrest of a 38-year-old woman and the seizure of a significant quantity of marijuana.
The operation was prompted by multiple citizen complaints regarding alleged drug sales at the location. Following surveillance and intelligence gathering, police identified an apartment suspected of being used for drug trafficking. Based on the gathered evidence, a Public Ministry agent obtained a court order to conduct the search.
During the raid, conducted on Calle 3 in the Chinam Pac de Juárez neighborhood, officers found and confiscated 100 glass tubes filled with marijuana, along with a gram scale. The arrested woman was subsequently taken to the Public Ministry, where her legal situation will be determined.
The property has been sealed off and is currently under police guard. This action is part of ongoing efforts to combat drug dealing in the capital.
