Business shut in Tulum plaza after police find drugs

Tulum, Q.R. — A business in central Tulum has been shut down after police found narcotics being sold from the location. Personnel from the State Attorney General’s Office seized packages of narcotics during the execution of a search warrant earlier this week.

The execution of the court order involved members of the Investigative Police attached to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Drug Dealing Crimes, as well as members of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of the Navy, and the National Guard.

The searched property is located in a shopping plaza on Tulum Avenue where agents seized doses of mushrooms, marijuana and cocaine, as well as e-cigarettes, technological equipment, eyedroppers and other objects.

After completing the procedure, police proceeded to place the corresponding security seals on the premises’ access doors, placing the property under the protection of the FGE.

The evidence found was made available to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for inclusion in the corresponding investigation. Police did not provide details as to how they learned of the drug sales from the plaza.
