Security forces in Mexico carried out a major operation in the state of Sinaloa, uncovering and shutting down three clandestine methamphetamine production laboratories. The raid resulted in the confiscation of nearly 17 tonnes of the drug.
Authorities estimate the market value of the seized methamphetamine at roughly $347 million. Sinaloa is widely known as one of Mexico's principal centers for drug production and trafficking, home to several powerful criminal organizations.
The bust forms part of broader ongoing efforts by Mexican authorities to combat illegal drug manufacturing and trafficking in the region, where clandestine labs are periodically discovered and dismantled during security operations.
