Elements of the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC) secured 1,210,000 fentanyl pills, 70 kilos of methamphetamine and five kilos of cocaine, hidden in boxes with honeycombs, in Culiacan.
According to the investigation, members of the Federal Ministerial Police, following an anonymous tip, went to the vicinity of the “El Pisal” toll booth on the Culiacan-Los Mochis highway.
At the scene they stopped a car driven by Aczel “M”, who was transporting wooden boxes with honeycombs.
Due to the risk, it was decided to transfer them to the FGR facilities, where personnel specialized in handling bees found approximately 125 kilos of fentanyl inside some of the boxes, of which four kilos corresponded to powdered fentanyl and 121 kilos to approximately 1,210,000 pills.
There were also 70 kilos of methamphetamine and five kilos of cocaine.
The arrested person and the seized goods were handed over to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) in Culiacán.
