Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — Two Americans are facing drug trafficking charges after being picked up by PDC police. On Saturday, the SSC (Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana) reported on the arrests of Americans Casey “N” and Raven “N”.
The pair were arrested after a narcotics dog marked them positive for an illicit substance. Narcotics K9, Yorker, picked up their scent while on a foot patrol with its handler at the beach at Third Street South.

“Elements of the K9 Group of the Secretariat of Citizen Security, working in coordination with the Secretariat of the Navy, while performing crime prevention duties in the Federal Maritime Zone of Playa del Carmen, noticed two people who, upon seeing them, began to act unusually.
“Nervously, they repeatedly looked from side to side and as they passed in front of the authorities, canine Yoker began to exhibit changes in behavior, moving his head, pulling on his leash and barking, indicating that he was detecting an odor characteristic of narcotics.
“Following the dog’s alert, the individuals were searched, specifically at the end of the ramp of the Maritime Terminal located between 1st South and 3rd South Streets, in the downtown area of Playa del Carmen.
“The following items were seized from them: a suitcase, a colorful bag, and seven blue cigarette packs with the words “Shaman Smokes,” six of which contained 20 cigarettes and the other 19, each containing green and dried plant matter with the characteristics of marijuana,” they detailed in a statement.
Casey “N” and Raven “N” were handed over to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Retail Drug Trafficking.
