MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico's navy says it has seized an assortment of drugs from a refrigerated tractor trailer carrying frozen shrimp in the western state of Sinaloa.
The navy's statement Wednesday says that its personnel in coordination with federal police and prosecutors found more than 770 pounds (350 kilograms) of methamphetamine, 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of heroin and smaller quantities of opium paste and cocaine.
The drugs were found hidden among 19 tons of frozen shrimp in the raid Tuesday night. The truck's driver was arrested.
