Mexico City police seize 1.6 tons of cocaine

Mexico City police made one of the biggest drug busts in recent memory in the capital, stopping two freight trucks carrying about 1.6 tons of cocaine.

The cocaine was worth about 20 million USD on the street in Mexico.The drug apparently was sent to Mexico from Colombia and landed at a port on the Pacific coast of the southern state of Oaxaca. Mexico City Police Chief said a third vehicle was escorting the two trucks, and four Colombians were arrested.The country’s city officials have long acknowledged that drug cartels use the capital as a shipping point, but they claim the gangs do not operate in the city as brazenly as they do in other parts of Mexico.
