A municipal police operation in Benito Juarez, Cancún led to the discovery and seizure of an alleged drug distribution center. The center was located in the residential area of Villas Cancún, specifically in superblock 521. Interestingly, the property was operating under the guise of a bakery.

The police began their operation after detecting suspicious activities in the public vicinity. Their attention was drawn to a man who was seen handling what looked like marijuana from a transparent bag with iridescent reflections. When the police attempted to apprehend him, the suspect fled into a nearby open shop.

Inside the shop, three other individuals were found who also displayed an aggressive demeanor towards the police. Once the situation was under control, the officers performed a search of the premises. They arrested four individuals, identified as Daniel "N", Carlos "S", Rebecca "M", and Laura "C".

The police seized several doses of illegal substances, although the exact quantities have not been disclosed. As of last night, the property remained under police custody. The police are awaiting a search warrant that will allow the Prosecutor's General's Office to carry out a formal inspection and gather further evidence.

The arrested individuals are currently facing charges related to drug offenses.
