Two Illegal Fuel Operations Dismantled in Hidalgo, Mexico; Fuel and Drugs Seized

Authorities in Singuilucan, Hidalgo, Mexico, have dismantled two clandestine centers allegedly used for the illegal storage and distribution of hydrocarbons. The operation, a coordinated effort between the State Attorney General's Office of Hidalgo (PGJEH), the Secretariat of National Defense (Defensa), and the National Guard (GN), also resulted in the seizure of fuel, drugs, and equipment used in illicit fuel operations.

The two sites were located along the Mexico-Tuxpan federal highway and the Pirámides-Tulancingo highway. Officials discovered and secured a total of 3,270 liters of fuel stored in 55 containers of various sizes. Additionally, authorities confiscated 47 meters of high-pressure hose, a hydraulic pump, and three makeshift fuel dispensers, which were reportedly used for the illegal sale of gasoline.

Beyond the fuel-related contraband, the operation uncovered significant quantities of illicit substances. Law enforcement seized 334 doses of marijuana and 30 doses of synthetic drugs, identified as crystal methamphetamine. All seized items have been turned over to the relevant authorities for further investigation.

The two properties where the illegal operations were based have been secured and placed under the custody of the competent authorities. The fuel, drugs, and other confiscated items are now in the possession of the Attorney General's Office of the Republic (FGR), which will continue the legal proceedings and investigations into the matter.
