Huge drug haul found

MEXICO’S navy has seized 10 tonnes of synthetic drugs near the western city of Culiacan.

The massive stash was found in large sacks and plastic drums, with authorities saying the area is notorious for the production and movement of huge quantities of methamphetamine. The seized drugs were incinerated.

The seizure follows the discovery of a synthetic drug laboratory also in Sinaloa state last week.

That raid yielded 50 tonnes of synthetic drugs near the town of Alcoyonqui.
