The discovery occurred in an abandon mechanic workshop on the TJ street of Tehuacan in the colonia Ejido Francisco Villa.
The 9.4 tons of marijuana confiscated by the State Preventive Police in the border town of Tijuana allegedly belongs to the Sinaloa Cartel.
The assumption of ownership of the confiscation being the Sinaloa cartel was due to the name “Beny” that appears on some packages, and Beny is identified as collaborator of the Sinaloa cartel, a criminal organization lead by the drug trafficker Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
Some packages had red spray paint and the name “Capulin”, but others were marked with a number representing its weight.
It was not verified if the weight was the correct one since the weighing of the drug was in total of all packages confiscated.
Authorities colluded that after the collection of the drug, it gave a weight of 9 tons with 43 kilograms.
The drug packages were not uniform in weight, size or shape. .
