Playa del Carmen, Q.R. — PDC officers who stopped a vehicle for bad driving located a small arsenal. The man and woman were stopped in the Ejido residential area of Playa del Carmen Wednesday for erratic driving.
During an inspection of their vehicle, officers found drugs and eight guns along with ammo. Police said in custody are 20 year old Francisco de Jesús “N” and 31 year old Kathia Carolina “N” both from the state of Veracruz.
In a statement, the Playa del Carmen SSC (Secretary of Citizen Security) reported “during preventive surveillance in the Ejido neighborhood, officers from the Playa del Carmen Citizen Security Secretariat arrested a man and a woman carrying multiple packages of suspected narcotics, eight firearms and live ammunition.
“Police detected a vehicle moving evasively upon noticing their presence, so they searched it. Several packages resembling crystal meth and marijuana were seized, as well as a compact vehicle.
“The operation also resulted in the seizure of four handguns and four long guns, live ammunition, and several magazines.
“The detainees, identified as Francisco de Jesús “N,” 20, and Kathia Carolina “N,” 31, both originally from the state of Veracruz, were handed over to the State Attorney General’s Office along with the confiscated items for legal purposes.”
