“#Huge meth, fentanyl lab found behind storefront in Mexico<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Authorities in Mexico broke up a large-scale, clandestine meth and fentanyl lab \u2014 hidden behind a storefront that advertised industrial cleaning products, federal prosecutors said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The building, on the outskirts of Mexico City, was actually a warehouse packed with stacks of drums and 265-gallon tanks holding chemicals \u2014 capable of manufacturing up to 11,000 pounds of raw product at a time, authorities said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Attorney General<\/a>\u2019s Office, we have no record of any seizure of equipment of this size before,\u201d said Felipe de Jesus Gallo of the federal Attorney General\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Video of raids in the operation, dubbed \u201cBlue,\u201d shows a warehouse of the same color, where soldiers and cops from Mexico City detained an engineer who allegedly built and operated the lab.<\/p>\n

Instructions of how to process fentanyl \u2014 which is up to 100 times stronger than morphine \u2014 were also found, authorities said.<\/p>\n

More than 639 pounds of meth with a \u201chigh level of purity\u201d was also confiscated from a lab in the northern state of Sonora, where evidence showed that individuals connected to the operation were tied to the Sinaloa drug cartel, authorities said.<\/p>\n

Some of the drugs were headed to the US, Gallo said Sunday.<\/p>\n

The raids, which also targeted properties in Mexico City and the northern state of Durango, marked the latest large-scale fentanyl bust in Mexico, where seizures of the synthetic opioid are reportedly up 465 percent this year compared to 2019.<\/p>\n

Experts told the Associated Press last month that increased security \u2014 and less traffic \u2014 due to the coronavirus pandemic have likely made drugs more easy to catch at border crossings.<\/p>\n
