MEXICO CITY – Mexico's Defense Department says it has discovered 1 1/2 tons of methamphetamine stored in water tanks and buried in the ground in the northern state of Coahuila.

The Defense Department says 11 kilograms (24 pounds) of heroin were found in the same spot after a patrol found dug-up earth in the municipality of Castanos.

The department said in a Saturday statement the property on which the drugs were found has been seized.

Mexican troops have conducted three other seizures this month in Coahuila, across the border from Texas. Most have been weapons seizures, the most recent one allegedly belonging to the brutal Zetas cartel. Coahuila is one of several northern Mexican states where the Gulf and Zetas cartels are fighting for control.
