Cancun, Q.R. — Authorities raided a bar in a popular central area of Cancun Thursday night in search of possible drug trafficking evidence. Police and military were at the Cantaritos bar in Plaza de Toros late Thursday night.
Auhorities arrived with a judicially-issued search warrant just before midnight in response to drug-related activity.
Investigative Police, the National Guard, the Mexican Army and the Navy Secretariat, were involved in securing the perimeter while the inspection inside the premises was carried out.
According to initial reports, the intervention is part of an investigation opened into the alleged sale of illicit substances within the nightclub.
Authorities have not made their findings public. Cancun police have not confirmed the discovery of narcotics or any arrests, nor have they said if the bar has been seized by the state as reported by some local media.
