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 40^th Military Zone in the 2^nd Region.

The seizure automatically became the 2^nd 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)
