Mexican Navy Seizes Over Three Tons of Cocaine in Tlaxcala and Guerrero

Mexican Navy (Semar) personnel have successfully intercepted more than three tons of cocaine in coordinated operations across the states of Tlaxcala and Guerrero. In Tlaxcala, naval forces, working with the Attorney General's Office (FGR) and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), executed a search warrant that led to the seizure of approximately one ton of cocaine, packaged in 900 bales. The operation also uncovered firearms and tactical gear.

Further operations in Guerrero resulted in the confiscation of over 2.1 tons of cocaine and the arrest of five individuals. These actions were the result of ongoing investigations into criminal activities, including kidnapping, extortion, and drug trafficking. Authorities identified and intervened in a property linked to these crimes in Ixtacuixtla de Mariano Matamoros, Tlaxcala.

Collectively, these seizures represent a significant blow to organized crime, preventing an estimated six million doses of cocaine from entering circulation and inflicting an economic impact exceeding 600 million pesos on criminal organizations. Since the beginning of the current administration, the Mexican Navy has seized over 73 tons of cocaine at sea.

The Security Cabinet has reiterated its commitment to collaborative efforts aimed at preventing illicit substances and firearms from reaching the streets. These successful interdictions underscore the ongoing efforts by Mexican authorities to combat drug trafficking and organized crime within the country.
