Bags with drugs found on one of the drug dealers.

Editor.- The presence of the State Police on Lakeside roads has been constant, showing an increased patrolling, which has resulted in the arrest of several people, especially for drug possession. 

Some of those arrested are Diego «N» and César «N», who were arrested for alleged drug possession in the streets of the San Miguel neighborhood in the municipality of Chapala. Diego «N», 20 years old, was carrying a metal box with 20 packets of crystal meth; while César «N», 34 years old, was carrying 102 packets of the same drug and after verifying his general information in the area of judicial orders, he had an arrest warrant in force for the crime of aggravated homicide.

The arrest was made when the officers saw two men who, upon noticing the presence of the patrol car, acted evasively and were intercepted at the intersection of Degollado and San Miguel streets. The two men were handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to continue with the necessary investigations.

In another incident, Juan Miguel «N», 34 years old, was detained in Chapala after acting evasively when he saw the police officers. In addition, Juan Miguel was snorting drugs before being arrested. 

Arrests were also made in Ajijic. During this week, State Police received an anonymous report that a subject was selling narcotics, so the officers went to the point located between Colón and Felipe Ángeles street, where they secured Guadalupe «N», 27 years old, who was found with nine doses of drugs.  

In Jocotepec, Aníbal «N», barely 18 years old, was surprised by the uniformed officers at the intersection of the Chapala-Jocotepec and Playas del Sol highway, in Jocotepec, when he was urinating on the public road next to a motorcycle, so he was approached; when they searched him, among his belongings they found a fanny pack in which he kept 21 packets containing crystal meth, leading to his arrest.
