The sale of drugs in small quantities seems to be increasing in the city, which has led to multiple searches organized by the State Investigation Police (PEI).
Last Thursday, November 21, as a result of an operation, Giovanny G.M., known as “El Huiro,” was arrested inside his mother’s house, located on 60th Street between 37th and 39th in Valladolid´s Bacalar neighborhood.
Residents of the area reported that the operation began at dawn and lasted until six in the morning, with the participation of the Special Investigation Police (PEI), the Public Security Secretariat (SSP), and the Army.
Drug seizure in operation in Valladolid
Although the authorities have not yet confirmed the details, it is presumed that a considerable amount of drugs was seized and that the property was seized.
Approximately two months ago, the PEI carried out several searches in subdivisions and Colonias in Valladolid. In these actions, at least 15 people were arrested and a large quantity of drugs was confiscated.
However, on that occasion, the operation in the Bacalar neighborhood did not manage to capture the main target, who managed to escape. Instead, only one vehicle was seized.
Are there drug sales in bars and taverns in Valladolid?
In addition to the arrest of Giovany G.M. (aka El Huiro), unofficial information suggests that some bars and taverns in Valladolid could be related to drug trafficking.
These operations are allegedly under the control of a person who uses nominees to manage them.
The presence of foreign women in these establishments is also mentioned, although their immigration status in the city is unknown.
The Municipal Police assure that they do not have information on these events, but affirm that they will carry out investigations to delve deeper into the subject.
