Elements of the Mexican Army dismantled a methamphetymine lab in the town of Huanimaro, Guanajuato according to Mexican news reports. The forfeiture amounts to 383,000 pills imported from China and 58 kilos to produce 700,000 doses of methamphetymine.

That seems rather a lot.

Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) commanders say the seizure has a retail value of 19 million pesos ($1,489,670).

Thursday's bust is the seventh lab dismantled by the army in Guanajuato.

I'm willing to be impressed. What happens to the siezed materials?

Drugs are usually incinerated.

That's ok, then.

An unidentified man and woman were arrested in conjunction with the seizure.
