The institution said that in total 7,250 liters and 7,135 kilograms of substances used for the manufacture of synthetic drugs were seized.
“Elements belonging to this armed institute are providing peripheral security in place, pending the ministerial authority to carry out the legal proceedings,” the bulletin concluded.

Also, on September 15, the Sedena reported that under the “National Peace and Security Plan 2018-2024″, elements of the Mexican Army obtained an important drug confiscation in the municipality of San Luis Río Colorado.
