Part 2/6:
One of the most notable incidents involved the theft of a substantial load of cocaine destined for a rival cartel. This high-stakes theft not only underscored the ongoing drug conflicts but also prompted violent retaliation and strategic moves by the involved groups. The perpetrators responded by bringing a touch of the notorious influence of the Jalisco-based cartels into Baja California, particularly Tijuana.
This infiltration has been characterized by the deployment of sophisticated weaponry and tactics that were previously unseen in the region. Observers note that these new capabilities are reminiscent of strategies used by cartels in more violent and technologically advanced regions such as Sinaloa and Jalisco.
