Elements of the National Guard (GN) located a tractor-trailer carrying chemical precursors and utensils, apparently used for the production of synthetic drugs in the municipality of Choix, Sinaloa.
During security patrols on the Choix-Potrero de Cancio highway stretch, national guards spotted a cargo vehicle with its doors open, parked on the side of the road, reported the GN.
The elements approached to provide support to the driver in case of any mechanical failure, however, they did not locate any person on board, so they carried out an inspection of the truck and located 2,400 liters of a substance labeled as “N-methylformamide”, 80 sacks with a white granulated substance, 12 burners, 14 pieces of black hose, two rolls of white cloth, eight plastic containers with a capacity of 200 liters each and eight metal pots with a capacity of 20 liters each.
The vehicle, the precursor chemicals and the utensils were handed over to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation.
