Busted: 100 Pounds of Fentanyl and A lot More

All non Mexican news sites are reporting the AP Story, including The NYT, UK's Daily Mail, US MSM News , Abc.

Mexican cops found enough fentanyl to kill more than one million people stuffed into back of SUV alongside cocaine, heroin and meth just 90 minutes south of  the US border.

Mexican police found a multi-drug shipment that included an astonishing 100 pounds (45.5 kilograms) of the synthetic opioid fentanyl in a vehicle south of the city of Ensenada in Baja California, officials said Thursday.

Fentanyl can be fatal in doses of just a few milligrams. To put the size of the haul in perspective, a seizure last year of 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms) of fentanyl in Columbus, Ohio, was said by prosecutors to be enough to potentially kill the entire population of the city of 860,000 people.

Federal Police in Mexico said the drug shipment seized south of  Ensenada also included 914 pounds (415 kilograms) of crystal meth, 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of cocaine and 18.5 pounds (8.4 kilograms) of heroin.

Police arrested a man who was driving an SUV stuffed with the drugs near Ensenada. The drugs were so bulky they were stuffed into a pile of sacks that filled the rear of the vehicle. The man was initially stopped because he lacked a front license plate.


                Army elements secured a total of 647 medium-sized packages containing the drug.
                        The vehicle was found during routine patrols carried out by the Military. 

It was the  second time this week a drug shipment containing fentanyl was seized in Ensenada; in the same manner  "crystal" meth  and cocaine were also seized. 

That shipment was located in the trunk of a blue truck with  California plates which was located abandoned in a isolated  area  in​​ the South of the Municipality.

The seizure was made on a stretch of dirt road in the area known as El Ajusco, on the Ensenada-Lázaro Cárdenas road stretch, at a distance of 25 kilometers south of the urban area. 

Fentanyl is one of the strongest synthetic drugs that is currently being trafficked.

Last Monday the Second Military Region released a statement about another seizure made in the vicinity of Santo Tomás, approx 30 miles south of Ensenada; Santo Tomas used to be known for its beautiful hilly wine growing region.

In November, Mexican authorities seized 31 pounds (14 kilograms) of fentanyl hidden in a car on a highway between the Gulf of California and San Luis Rio Colorado, which is home to POE border crossing with Arizona.


The confiscated drug was made available to the federal authorities of the Attorney General's Office (PGR) in Ensenada, BC.

  2. The huge amount of meth and small quantities of coke and heroin point to cjng. They dont have the connects for big coke and heroin shipments but meth is something else.

    1. They have connects for everything now, meth was what they came up with 📈

    2. Nope guy. Heroin and coke make you international players and they dont have much influence outside mexico yet or maybe never will. Their bread and butter is meth. Sinaloa has the coke and heroin market on lock. The dame DEA reports that say cjng has all this made up power also say they're not much outside mexico. Nice try tho.

    3. 2:18 no, they only have synthetic GARBAGE like fentanyl and meth.
      Pure heroin and cocaine is way too classy for a tweaker millennial gang like CJNG.

    4. CJNG is running all of Mexico it sucks because those dudes are scumbags but its true

  3. A controlled seizure, make the authorities look good. WIll be locked up, then redistributed thru the proper channels, eventually to be trafficked across the border

  4. I want to know what really happened. This smells like fish to me. Was this a bunch of low quality stuff to allow a big shipment through. Or was it the 10% payoff. We are talking 15 mill wholesale, one man, an old truck, no escort. Really....LOL

  6. One picture is in a white truck one is in a black truck.

    I think more details are needed. I was under the impression that fentanyl was a big money make for the CDS but considering how much Cristal is in the truck this looks like a pay off from CNG to local government

    1. YES YES, I know about the difference in vehicles etc. It does say there were two - three different incidents and the photos are mixed too, I checked everything I could find and really could not find better clarification..........did not help that I could not load Zeta for some reason either.
      Any way you look at it , it is ALOT of fentanyl plus.

  7. And that's exactly why the US will destroy the Mexican cartels. Cocaine, ok.
    Fentanyl, no. The cartels have been claiming for a few yrs now that the American dealers were cutting the dope w fentanyl. Now we see the truth. Good luck w that amigos. U just signed your death warrant.

    2. Oh really? You do realize you can buy kilos of fentanyl analogs legally through CHINESE research chemicals labs? And get it ship to your home through UPS?
      As always the xenophobic anglo demonizing mexican cartels whithout realizing that their best buddies the Chinese are the ones supplying the poison. Of course your government won't dare to attack the Asian dragon.

      Is like saying all the poor latinos are stealing all the low skill bluecollar jobs yet all the Professionals like chemists, doctors etc are asians. But of course you dont believe in college so it doesn't matter.

    3. Uh? You sure that's in the best interest of your Cocaine ImportationI Agency or CIA? Where do you think they get the funds for their operations ? And is not like the current government cares much from where the black ops money comes from as long it's not from their hard earned taxes cuts.

      Jeez you really think THE USA government is the hero here? Lol tell that to the ME and all nations affected since 1945 thanks to Yankees capitalistic imperialism.

  10. I can tell you for a fact this was tied to the big bosses of CDS and not CJNG. Heads will most certainly roll!

  11. No front license plate. Nice move Einstein.

  12. Aside from the fent, this is routine Sinaloa product. There are so many factors, I don't think it's genuine to say 100% on way, but I would say this is result of competing cells trying to undercut each other.

    Reason so much crys, could be many things, but you need a lot of that to make it worthwhile, the price is so low in Tijuana. Higher in US, but it needs to travel East/Mid/or South.

  14. Demand is what drives the market and dictates the amount and type of drug(s) being shipped up north not a cartel's initials or who their "historical suppliers" have been.

    Cartel level money motivates men and moves mountains, willing suppliers are found and strategic territories are conquered. The bottom line is appease the markets palate.

    Assuming that a busted shipment belonged to one cartel versus another based on the meth to coke or coke to meth to x,y,z drug ratio seized is IGNORANT.

    The tail doesn't wag the dog son stay in school.
