Navy reports Sinaloa lab dismantled

Reporting and context

Los Noticieristas Policiaca reports that Mexico’s Navy, working with the Attorney General’s Office and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection, disabled a clandestine laboratory near the community of Los Cedritos in Sinaloa. The report says the operation took place during security patrols intended to locate and destroy facilities allegedly linked to illicit activity. The source identifies the municipality as Cosalá, although its headline and other references describe the case broadly as occurring in Sinaloa.

According to the outlet, the site covered about 15,000 square meters, on land measuring approximately 300 by 50 meters. Authorities reportedly seized about 750 kilograms of apparent methamphetamine, including finished product and material still being processed. The report also says personnel found 15 containers holding about 750 liters of precursor and essential chemicals, along with 50 sacks containing more than 1,200 kilograms of other substances.

The reported equipment included a 500-liter distillation reactor, six centrifuges, eight burners, 63 drums, 69 containers, 23 tubs, 11 enamel pots and five 30-kilogram gas tanks, as well as assorted tools. The outlet says the facility and recovered materials were later destroyed at the site under established protocols and in the presence of a competent ministerial authority. The article’s extracted text contains unrelated headlines and does not provide a separate official release or an independently verifiable case number; all figures and operational details should therefore remain attributed to Los Noticieristas Policiaca.
