In Baja California Sur, authorities seized 27 slot machines found on the sidewalk during inspection and surveillance operations. This action aims to mitigate illegal activities, as these machines are linked to organized crime recruitment and the sale and consumption of drugs. The confiscation took place near two commercial establishments in Cabo San Lucas, specifically in the neighborhoods of El Arenal and Caribe.

The seized machines have been handed over to the relevant authorities to facilitate the integration of the necessary investigation files. The Mexican Navy, via its Cabo San Lucas Naval Sector, executed a security deployment along with inspection operations as part of the 'Inter-Institutional Operations' and 'Naval Operations for the Maintenance of the Rule of Law,' in coordination with the State Police. This effort represents a broader initiative to crack down on locations linked to organized crime and protect community safety.

This action reflects concerns regarding the proliferation of gambling in areas identified as recruitment hotspots for criminal organizations. By targeting such establishments, the government demonstrates its commitment to combating drug-related offenses and organized crime, emphasizing public safety and community welfare.
