Narcolaboratory located in Coatzingo during operation by the Army and the Attorney General’s Office

Zócalo of Coatzingo

A drug laboratory in Coatzingo, a municipality in the Mixtec region of Puebla, was detected thanks to an operation by the Mexican Army and the State Attorney General’s Office.  

After the operation, unofficial versions indicate that federal authorities claim that the Sinaloa Cartel was responsible for the implementation of this drug lab in Coatzingo.

It is a property of more than one hectare with approximately 40 barrels of precursor chemicals for the manufacture of drugs.  

According to information to which PÁGINA NEGRA had access, the operation was carried out in this town located near Tepexi de Rodríguez.

Neighbors of the property indicated to the Mexican Army agents that “some businessmen negotiated to keep the property” and soon after they moved in.

The narco-laboratory is fully equipped for the manufacture of synthetic drugs and narcotics.

The large quantity of chemicals found, the logistical level and the storage space show that the space was operated by a national criminal group.

This area of the Mixteca region of Puebla is strategic due to its proximity to the borders of states such as Oaxaca, Morelos and Guerrero.

So far, neither the federal authorities nor the Puebla Prosecutor’s Office have issued any official comment or information about this discovery.

A narco-laboratory was located in 2022 in San Andres Cholula.

The most recent narco laboratory found in Puebla was located on April 19, 2022. The State Police found it on Zaragoza street in Tehuiloyocan, auxiliary town of San Andres Cholula.  

In that place they also arrested a drug dealer Luis Manuel T. L. alias “El Michoacano”. He was arrested when he was seen getting into a black car parked in front of a house.

Agents from the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) found a drug lab after a search of the house occupied by Luis Manuel, alias “El Michoacano”.

They searched the house in San Luis Tehuiloyocan, auxiliary town of San Andres Cholula and confirmed the presence of the drug lab.
