Two Methamphetamine Labs Discovered in the Mountains of Chihuahua

“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat 




Two methamphetamine laboratories were located in the Sierra Tarahumara—between the municipalities of Morelos and Guachochi in Chihuahua—during a joint operation conducted by the State Investigation Agency (AEI), the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), and the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Strategic Operations. At the site, authorities discovered two facilities suspected of being used for the production of synthetic drugs, as well as an encampment containing provisions for human consumption.


The discovery took place approximately nine hours from Chihuahua City, in a border zone between the municipalities of Guachochi and Morelos, where the authorities had arrived.


Officials explained that at the first encampment and laboratory—an open area covering approximately 850 square meters and divided into five distinct sections—the following items were found: 19 one-thousand-liter drums, 2 boilers, and pallets stacked with sacks bearing the label "Tquisa"; 17 one-thousand-liter containers; 1 restroom facility; and 2 water storage containers.


Also discovered were 14 vessels containing acetone; 14 containers holding a white substance; 16 containers holding a black substance; 15 ovens; 7 tanks connected to the ovens via hoses; 10 small tanks; 61 connected gas cylinders; 42 additional gas cylinders; and 4 tanks containing a black substance.


Meanwhile, at the second camp-laboratory—situated in an open area measuring approximately 40 meters—authorities located: a stockpile of sacks containing a white substance, two condensers, two boilers, six 1,000-liter containers, and five drums holding liquid substances.


Additionally, during their inspection of the site, authorities discovered a camp measuring approximately 20 by 15 meters, stocked with provisions for human consumption.


Once the evidence had been secured, the relevant investigative procedures were carried out; therefore, further information regarding this incident will be released at a later date.

  1. The capture of el mayo really shaped the narco politices in the northern west region. Back then la linea didnt even touch these woods, now they are engraved in it. Cjng was looking strong until knocking off mencho off the game. Now the same formula of disasters might hit those southern regions, we'll more to it then all the chaos that already been down there too.

  2. Again the same old story like before. A laboratory was discovered with nobody there and no nobody arrested. Wow. A miracle that these drug cookers managed to escape. Isn't that just really convenient for the cartel? Also is the fact that the pictures don't show any real chemicals or drugs. All you see is wooden drums with lids on. Let's be real and honest about this bust. It was a staged bust. The government was getting heat from the public about drug use and therefore the government and the cartel got together about staging this to calm everyone in the city. Nuff Said!!!

    1. Nuffy, use your head.
      The people at the labs RAN AWAY at the approach of SEDENA.

      Maybe they will feel guilty later and turn themselves in.

      In the meantime, try to come up with something original.

      As I'm sure you've heard a hundred times from Buffy, you're growing quite TIRESOME !

  4. Somebody was asking about my cat so I thought I would fill you i.....Me el gatos [cats] William, Kevin and Juan [not to be confused with 'Sean' -which of course is my pet duckbill platypus-common and understandable error] are doing well. They have been free of crystal methamphetamine use -William is going on 27 days and it's almost out of rehab, Kevin has been clean of meth for well over 5 years but has grown morbidly obese due to his catnip addiction [I figured that's better than crystal methamphetamina!] and Juan serenades me bolero ranchero songs in his native el español-he has a speech impediment and meows with a lisp so it's difficult to decipher.
    🟡About a year ago there was an article posted and three low level 'hawks' I think it was?were captured and their names were something [almost comical] like Kevin, Walter and Juan. No, I didn't watch the video and yes Im well aware of the brevity of misery occurring in some people's lives so I don't make light of any of this but please remember this is all heavy stuff, and sometimes you just have to come up for air-and find some relief in the absurdity or else when we all stare into the abyss, the abyss is going to stare back at us.
    Sadly you can step away from this site BB for a decade and you're going to come back 10 years later [if we're lucky enough to still have this site available] only to realize that nothing has changed other than the names of the groups involved, the names will change but there will still be enough guys with the name 'elfantasmo' or Chapo or 'the big cheese eater la verga; to confuse the piss out of you-
    🐙Doing this via Google talk to text and guaranteed there will be multiple errors and punctuation and grammatical distortions for 'no period guy' to comment on and rip apart any literacy skills I may or may not have. We may not have El Muncho [mencho's fat brother] but we will still have no period guy.... Be well, enjoy the absurdity 🐙

    1. 11:51 Hope the octopus lips like the catnip better than the kitties, they say kitties tongues are too coarse and some get lost when the catnip is too tall, comb it once a day at least.
