Mexican authorities dealt a heavy blow to drug trafficking with the seizure of 926 kilograms of cocaine, which were transported in three vans in the state of Chiapas.
Elements of the Secretariat of the National Defense (Sedena) were in charge of achieving this assurance, when they detected the three units traveling at excessive speed through the municipality of Tuxtla Chico, near the border with Guatemala.
It was like this how a chase started, so the crew of the vehicles decided to abandon the 460 drug packages to escape on foot. In addition to the cocaine, the military found 60 kilos of chemical precursor that, it is presumed, would be used to “reduce ” the drug and thus obtain more profits with the sale of the drug.
According to the authorities, the insured drug would have a value of 20 million dollars distributed on the black market in Chiapas, however, if it could be sent to the north of the country, the profit would increase up to 30%.
This seizure occurred a few days after another equally important seizure in the state of Campeche, where the Mexican Air Force intercepted a plane carrying more than 400 kilos of cocaine.
It all happened when the Comprehensive Air Surveillance System of the Sedena detected an unidentified aircraft coming from Suda America, which is why it issued the alert to the Reaction Forces of the Territorial Commands of the Mexican Army, located on the southern border of the country.
This is how the Air Force was ordered Mexicana the deployment of two Embraer EMB-145 aircraft and a Helicopter Reaction Force aboard 3 UH-60, to track the detected aircraft.
The crew noticed the presence of the armed forces, so they made a landing of emergency to 79 kilometers from the municipality of Miguel Hidalgo, Campeche.
Inside the aircraft they found 54 packages with cocaine, which gave an approximate weight of 460. 5 kilograms, for which they were made available to the authorities competent.
