Drug lab finds down in Jalisco in 2012

The number of drug labs discovered by authorities in Jalisco dropped by over 50 percent from 62 in 2011 to 29 in 2012.

According to military reports, more drug labs have been found in Jalisco and Sinaloa than anywhere else in Mexico. Ranches, houses, warehouses and even caves are among the sites used by criminal gangs for producing synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine.
