During a seafaring procedure carried out about 851 km north of Acapulco in the Mexican Pacific, the government's Security Cabinet reported that the Hispanic Navy seized about 1. 17 lots of cocaine and arrested six individuals, three of whom were Mexicans and three of whom were Ecuadorian.
The Ministry of the Navy ( Semar ) personnel located a smaller boat equipped with three outboard motors in which the six crew members were traveling during maritime patrol and surveillance tasks, according to the authorities in a statement.
Authorities said they discovered 39 bundles containing about 1, 170 kilograms of a material with the characteristics of methamphetamine upon inspection.
Along with the ship, they also seized about 2,450 liter of fuel, which were distributed in 49 drummers, three satellite communication products, and two radio lights.
The new arrest comes as part of a stronger Mexican campaign against coastal drug trafficking, especially along Pacific Ocean routes.
The actions come after Mexico assured at the end of July that it had discovered that the Pacific Ocean is officially the center of the most maritime drug trafficking.
In response to stress from the US government to push harder to stop drug trafficking in Mexico, the Navy has already seized more than 80 tons of heroin under the existing federal administration, according to standard information.
