The Secretary of the Navy - Marinas of Mexico made the forfeiture during the operation called "Operation Sauzal", after they received an anonymous complaint, which indicated the presence of civilians carrying out drug trafficking.

Military personnel of 67 / o. Infantry battalion, and the Navy observed two civilians unloading suspicious black bags, the same two that when noticing the presence of the military undertook  flight in another boat, leaving it abandoned in the place.

The military personnel searched and verified the interior of the boat, and in a hidden compartment they found the bags inside which there were odiferous packages, which gave off a characteristic smell of “marijuana”.
