Mexico seizes 150 kg of methamphetamine in Baja California, a $38 million blow to cartels

Mexican federal authorities have seized 150 kilograms of methamphetamine in Baja California as part of ongoing efforts to combat organized crime. The operation, conducted by the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Navy, and the Attorney General's Office (FGR), is expected to deliver a significant economic blow to criminal organizations, estimated at around 38 million pesos.

The significant bust followed the earlier arrest of two individuals who were found in possession of 68 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine. Information obtained from this initial arrest reportedly provided crucial leads for investigators to continue their work, leading to the larger seizure.

This latest operation aims to prevent approximately 3.75 million doses of the drug from reaching the streets. The confiscated methamphetamine has been handed over to the relevant public prosecutor's office for further investigation and legal proceedings.
