Authorities in Chiapas, Mexico, seized 171.42 kilograms of what appears to be cocaine hidden inside the fuel tanks of a tractor-trailer during a routine inspection at the Huixtla Border Traffic Integrated Care Center. The discovery was made by customs agents working alongside the Army, National Guard, and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), using mobile X-ray equipment which detected anomalies in the density of the fuel tanks and rectangular objects inside them. A specialized canine unit confirmed the presence of 170 packages resembling cocaine in both tanks. The driver and the seized drugs were handed over to the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) for further investigation.
