Mexican Navy Incinerates 44 Tons of Marijuana in Tijuana Plantations

The Mexican Navy has successfully eradicated two large marijuana plantations in the southern part of Tijuana, Baja California, as part of ongoing operations to dismantle drug production centers. The plantations spanned a total area of 12,550 square meters.

Through incineration, the Navy destroyed approximately 291,000 marijuana plants, which had an estimated weight of 44.5 tons. Representative samples of the plants were handed over to the relevant authorities to support ongoing investigations.

The Secretariat of the Navy (Semar) stated that these actions underscore its commitment to combating drug production and distribution within the country. The operation is designed to weaken the capabilities of criminal groups and prevent drugs from reaching young people in Mexico.

This eradication effort is part of a broader strategy to combat narcotrafficking and its associated criminal activities, aiming to improve security and public health across the nation.
