The above, derived from the violent events that have been recorded in recent months and have placed Tulum as one of the most violent municipalities in the country.

The Attorney General reported that the investigation folder included charges for drug dealing and extortion issues that have occurred in the area.

“Derived from some violent events that have happened lately in Tulum, we have implemented a joint operation with the State coordination table for state security, made up of the National Guard, Mexican Army, the Secretariat of the Navy, and Quintana Roo Police, the detainees They have been presented to the public prosecutor and the investigation folder was integrated to determine if the accusation is made before a control judge for crimes against health, ”explained Montes de Oca.

The operation was carried out in the public thoroughfare of the Tulum-Boca Paila highway and the central and tourist areas, although he said that some wanted to hide in the establishments, they were taken from there and three of them had firearms.

Finally, he said that this operation is part of the investigations that are carried out derived from the operation that took place last Sunday on Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen, where 26 people were arrested.
