Mexico dismantles three synthetic drug labs in Sinaloa
5 June 2019
A combined army and police force on patrol in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa has dismantled three labs producing the synthetic drug methamphetamine.
Officials estimated the labs could produce 17 million doses of meth.
They said their discovery was the biggest blow to meth trafficking so far this year.

The illegal substances are smuggled across the border into the US, which is the world's largest consumer of drugs.
Most of the methamphetamine available in the United States is produced clandestinely in Mexico, according to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
