The Mexican army says it's seized more than four tonnes of methamphetamines in the violence-ridden state of Sinaloa.
Authorities say the drugs were confiscated from laboratories and warehouses, where traffickers had set up camps for round-the-clock production.
"When we arrived, the staff had already fled," said Deputy Operative Chief of the Army General Staff, Hamlet Toledo. "We saw a camp for about 15 to 20 people, based on the number of cots and food supplies. They were staying overnight and producing drugs day and night."
In total, more than four tonnes of methamphetamines were seized at three locations and placed at the disposal of the prosecutor’s office for analysis. Toledo added that in a separate operation at another lab, authorities also confiscated 1,250 kilograms of meth.
Pressure from the United States on Mexico to curb drug trafficking has intensified since the start of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, with Trump threatening to impose tariffs if the situation was not brought under control.
