Translated by Yaqui for Borderland Beat from: Debate

                           Almost 300 liters of liquid methamphetamine seized in El Centinela

In addition, almost 500 liters of ammonia was also seized which is used as a precursor for the drugs manufacture.

Mexicali, Baja California.- More than 700 liters of prohibited substances were secured by elements of the Mexican Army in the security revision point of " El Centinela ".

The seizure occurred last Thursday night, when the soldiers and agents of the Federal Police carried out security checks on vehicles .

When inspecting a Kenworth tractor trailer with a closed container box, white color, labeled with the logo of a well-known parcel company, 12 white bottles that appeared to be herbicide and 56 five-liter drums with a label indicating that it was an environmental improvement product were located.

However, the containers were filled with a liquid with the characteristics of methamphetamine, giving a total of 292 liters; while the drums, of 20 liters each, contained 500 liters of ammonia , used as a precursor for the manufacture of synthetic drugs.

The 792 liters of prohibited substances, the driver and the heavy unit , ie the tractor trailer were placed at the disposal of the corresponding authorities.

                                          250 Kilos of powdered crystal methamphetamine 

Meanwhile in Tijuana, BC:

Elements of the State Preventive Police (PEP), the Secretary of the Navy (Semar) and the Federal Police seized 250 kilos of methamphetamine , in addition to arresting a subject/suspect who was apparently guarding a warehouse in the Central de Abastos ,Los Alamos, where there was a discovery of more drugs.

Thanks to research and intelligence work, the security corporations had information about the presumed drug presence in that area, which is why they moved in for possible detection and subsequent seizure.

After locating the referred location they noticed a subject standing next to a Volkswagen Jetta vehicle parked outside the premises marked with the number 15. The man held in his hands a transparent bag.

When he realized the presence of the authorities he tried to escape, but his escape was thwarted by authorities after a short chase. 

The individual was identified as José Miguel "N", 36 years old, originally from Navolato, Sinaloa.

When they inspected the interior of the vehicles, the elements found various plastic packages and boxes containing  methamphetamine  in powder form; in total: 250 kilos.

They also noticed that inside the warehouse there are transparent plastic bags with the same characteristics, so they notified  the corresponding authority and asked for security to be established, ie, a custody operation in the area, waiting for the Judge to release the search warrant.

Such confiscation represents a financial blow to this criminal structure exceeding 125 million pesos, a figure that would multiply once the methamphetamine was in the United States, where according to information from the intelligence areas it was planned to be trafficked.
