Mexican Army seizes 5 tons from Chapo in BCS

Tijuano for Borderland Beat

 
Almost 5 tons of Marijuana were seized in a check point in San Ignacio, BCS.
The first investigations regarding this seizure of almost 5 tons of drugs in a checkpoint in San Ignacio, BCS exposed that the shipment was property of the Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
The narcotic came from Sinaloa and had Tijuana as destination, after crossing without issue the checkpoints installed in 4 cities in Sinaloa and 4 more in Sonora, as well as 2 checkpoints in Baja California Sur it was finally detected by members of the Mexican Army belonging to the 40th Military Zone in the 2nd Region.
The seizure automatically became the 2nd biggest hit in history to the Sinaloa Cartel in the state, where paradoxically, only one person was detained.
First reports indicate that the drug came hidden inside a gas tanker with PG2544-A as tags, no company names and with stickers of “Danger, transports hazardous material”, the following was found inside the tanker:
1.    481 large packages and 50 small packages containing marijuana with a total weight of 4 tons 763 kilograms (10,500 lbs.)
2.    10 plastic containers with a total weight of 5.9 kilograms (13 pounds) of Crystal Meth.
The drugs have an approximated value -according to military estimates- of almost 77 million Mexican Pesos (about 6.4 million USD)
The detainee explains that the route the drug travelled started in Navolato, crossed thru Culiacan, Guasave, Guamuchil and Los Mochis in Sinaloa, from there it entered Sonora passing thru Navojoa, Ciudad Obregon, Empalme and Guaymas.

 Then the cargo ship that covers the Guaymas-Santa Rosalia  route was used, from there it traveled by San Ignacio until the highway checkpoint where it was detected.
 
In the whole journey followed by the drugs nobody found it. Municipal, State, Ministerial and Federal police, even officers of the Navy Ministry didn´t discover the drugs which led to the detainee to believe he was “going to arrive without issues to Tijuana”.
 
The day of the seizure, the army men stopped vehicles in the San Ignacio community checkpoint and asked passengers to step out and allow for a routine check.
 
The officers told ZETA magazine that it was a high traffic day, because although few cars travelled the Transpeninsular highway, there were between 8 and 10 units awaiting examination.
 
The inspection was slow, since –according to military checkpoint protocols-, the passengers had to step out of the vehicles, explain their place of origin and destination, and also answer questions from an army officer regarding name and employment.

 All that data was written in a notebook along with the license plates, color, brand and model of the unit.
 
However, when the tanker was to be inspected the army personal noticed something was wrong right away. According to one of the officers that participated in the checkpoint there were many inconsistencies in the unit with the parameters set by the Energy Ministry. The following are some of them:
 
1.    The unit didn´t have the total capacity in liters painted on it.
2.    The number 1075 was missing from the red rhombus which is the mandatory    international symbol which identifies “LP Gas”.
3.    The unit was missing the “LP Gas distribution service” sticker.
All those were major clues to know that it was in fact a “camouflaged tanker”, then it was submitted to a meticulous inspection until they found the drug packages.
The driver was put under arrest and the drugs and unite were seized and put at the disposition of the Federal Attorney General office (Procuraduria General de la Republica).
Another major hit to the Sinaloa Cartel was given in November 19th, 2012 when officers belonging to the Mexican Navy seized 8 tons of marijuana that were being transported in deep seas aboard the shrimp vessel “Alejandro TJ”.
"Alejandro TJ"
In that operation there were 7 people arrested when they were detected 1.7 miles away from the Puerto Cortes naval base, in Isla Margarita. The vessel was carrying 2,292 packages of marijuana with a total weight of 8 thousand 127 kilograms.
The new route.

Navolato to Tijuana, new narco route.
The only detainee in the seizure said this wasn´t the first time he was in this situation and that he worked for the Sinaloa Cartel. The shipment was to be handed over in the city of Tijuana, in a place “yet to be defined”, and then sent to California. The criminal was not willing to cooperate until he “spoke with his lawyer”....[continues on next page]

About this historic seizure, and according to one member of the Coordination Group, the cartels are trying to change their drug smuggling routes, this after the Secondary Inspection Module in the maritime terminal in Pichilingue, La Paz stated operations, this is considered the main entrance spot in Baja California Sur.
This unit, which was inaugurated June 9th, 2012 is equipped with x-rays, weapon detectors, and the Plataforma Mexico system (which help identify criminals all over Mexico), it also has personnel from the State Public Safety Ministry, and Mexican Army and Navy.
From that point on and until January 2013, almost 20 criminals were apprehended when they arrived looking for a place to hide from their arrest warrants from states like Sinaloa, Baja California, Oaxaca, Durango and others.
That checkpoint is so functional that the United States Embassy recently proposed to include Baja California Sur in the Merida Initiative, and sent resources to equip the checkpoints in the airports of Los Cabos, La Paz and Guerrero Negro, because, according to an American Government analysis, “they are strategic points in matters of border security and inspection points in Mexico”.
In 2012, the terminal of Pichilingue was stage for some important hits, one of them in January 7th, when a shipment of 16 kilograms (35 lbs.) of heroin was seized. A smuggler by the name of Manuel Rodriguez Garcia was apprehended that day.
The drug belonged to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, and was to be delivered to the State Police agent Miguel Alberto Ayala Peña, whom at the same time had to deliver it to the criminal organization known as “Los Zamudio”.
That same year, in the secondary inspection point the Mexican Army seized almost 650 kilograms of marijuana being transported in a “touristic” passenger bus. On this occasion 2 people were arrested, they confessed to be hired to transport the bus from Mazatlan to Vizcaino, and that the drug was to be handed over to the former plaza boss, Juan Beltran Beltran aka “El Indio”.
It was for this situation that the criminal organization of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman created a new route of drug smuggling –besides the ones he has by sea and air- between Guaymas, Sonora and Santa Rosalia. This new route offers some advantages according to a Coordination Group member analysis, the main ones being Santa Rosalia doesn´t have the high tech and certified personnel like Pichilingue and that Santa Rosalia has few personnel, mainly of the Navy Ministry and since it´s far from the main cities it’s not hard to bribe them.

  2. Is this different than the bust i reported on last month for the San Diego Reader? It looks similar but the stats are different.

    http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/news-ticker/2013/mar/25/over-10-tons-of-drugs-seized-in-baja-california-su/

    On March 24th, 5 tons of mj and 5 tons of crystal were seized near the same area.

  3. The fact that there are still people out there who dares defy the drug cartel at great personal risks to themselves speaks volumes about the resilience and bravery of the Mexican people.
    People like the health workers, armed forces, fire services etc.
    Including people in the news services, both private and public.

  20. Penny in the bucket for el señor GL. He's got un millón, milliones of dollars, what does he have to worry about. As long as they don't seize his coke, he's all good. The authorities will probably sell it back to him anyway!

    I do believe El Señor has established an alliance with El Mochomo and his faction. According to the narco corrido "Las palabras del Mochomo", Alf. BL States how the war with Chapo and BLO was a misunderstanding, due to his capture, and that everthing has been settled. There has to be permission for artists to make corridos in which serious statements are made. Some grupero artists have lost their lives for making statements in their music. A music label like Del Records stands by the statements their artists make in their corridos. wink wink

    2. Why? Chapo didn't kill his brother, It was la Marina. La Barbie set up Alfredo Beltran. So there's no reason why el Mochomo has beef with Chapo.

    3. Arturo beltrab had beef with manuel torres chapo and all sinaloa cartel his son was even killed by blo . do you think chapo wants a truce with them ? also pne of mochomos nephew was kidnapped by chapos people . get ur info straight

    6. Nacho asked chapo for permission to take mochomos nephew and chapo gave the thumbs up to do so some beltran family member left culican and m1 Son was killed by MP and borrado plp its said that chapo sworn to M1 That he would dissapear the beltranes wich he never did. and you expect mochomo to have peace with chapo amd his plp LMAO

    7. @1:44pm M1's son was not killed by THEM ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? It was conflict he had within his own family that lead to his sons death. The fool M1 himself didn't even know that, at least for a while that is.

  26. wow, i'm guessing they will get a shipping hazardous materials guideline book and maybe study it before they head out next time, it could have taken a few days to do some research or to hire a real pro who knows what the labels and colors mean, regardless if it is a big hit or not, it is still a lot of money
