Marines located about 45 kilograms of crystal, chemical precursors, as well as equipment and material used to make said drug.
Elements of the Marine Corps located and dismantled a clandestine narcotics laboratory south of Tepatitlán de Morelos, where apparently large quantities of drugs were processed.
Inside they found about 45 kilograms of crustal, chemical precursors, as well as equipment and material used to make the drug, the Navy of Mexico said in a statement.
He said that in recent days almost 60 tons of synthetic drugs and 700 kilograms of cocaine have been seized; seizures that significantly affect the financial and operational structure of the criminal groups that operate in the country.
In this case, through intelligence work, it was learned that in the vicinity of the town of Ojo de Agua de Latillas, 19 kilometers south of Tepapitlán de Morelos, there was a building for the production of synthetic drug.
In an operation with land units, Marine Infantry personnel managed to locate, secure and disable a clandestine narcolaboratory used for the production of synthetic drugs, after which they proceeded to destroy the drug, material, equipment and chemicals.
The operations were carried out in accordance with procedures of the Force Use Manual, of Common Application to the Three Armed Forces and in strict respect of Human Rights, in order to provide security to Mexican families, he said.
Finally, the Navy-Navy Secretariat of Mexico reaffirmed the unwavering decision to continue contributing to strengthen the climate of peace, order and security that Mexican society deserves, always within a framework of respect for the rule of law.
