54 kilos of marijuana seized in Mexico City; drugs distributed via app taxis

Mexico City authorities, in coordination with federal security forces, have seized 54 kilograms of marijuana following a raid on a property in the Venustiano Carranza borough. The location was allegedly used as a hub for distributing drugs via app-based taxis.

The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) conducted investigations based on reports of a group using ride-sharing taxis for drug distribution. After gathering evidence, a public prosecutor obtained a search warrant from a control judge.

The operation involved personnel from the SSC and the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, with support from the Secretariats of National Defense and Navy, and the National Guard. They executed the warrant at an address on Retorno 39 street and Del Taller avenue in the Jardín Balbuena neighborhood.

Inside the property, various packages containing approximately 54 kilograms of marijuana were secured. The building has been sealed and placed under police custody, while the seized marijuana has been handed over to a public prosecutor.
