METH LAB DISCOVERED ON WARWICKSHIRE FARM AS FIVE MEXICAN MEN FACE DRUG CHARGES
Remote countryside property allegedly used to produce Class A drug
A major National Crime Agency investigation has uncovered an alleged methamphetamine laboratory operating on remote farmland in Warwickshire, with five Mexican men now facing charges over the suspected production of the Class A drug.
The laboratory was discovered near Furnace End in North Warwickshire following an investigation led by the National Crime Agency (NCA). Officers arrested five men on 13 August 2026 and subsequently charged them with conspiracy to produce methamphetamine.
The defendants have been identified as Alejandro Ambriz Dimas, 45, Victora Ramirez, 47, Fausto Beltran, 33, Lioncio Moso Borja, 37, and Jose Nunez Angolo, 44.
According to the NCA, four of the men are from Culiacán in the Sinaloa region of north-west Mexico, while Dimas is from Michoacán in southern Mexico. Their origins have led to reports drawing comparisons with the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, but authorities have not publicly established that the men were members of the cartel.
FARM PROPERTY TURNED INTO ALLEGED DRUG LAB
The discovery has raised concerns about the growing reach of organised drug production and the possibility that rural properties can be used to conceal sophisticated criminal activity away from major towns and cities.
The NCA says the suspected operation involved a laboratory on isolated farmland. Warwickshire Police, West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Ambulance Service supported the operation, with the ambulance service standing by because of the potential dangers associated with the site.
Methamphetamine is a highly addictive Class A drug and can cause serious physical and psychological harm.
FIVE MEN DENY THE ALLEGATIONS
The five defendants appeared at Warwick Crown Court and pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to produce methamphetamine.
Their lawyers told the court that the men denied knowledge of drug production. The case was adjourned, with a trial scheduled for 15 February, and the defendants remained in custody.
The allegations therefore remain unproven, and the men are legally presumed innocent unless and until they are convicted.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR WARWICKSHIRE?
The case highlights how organised criminal groups can allegedly exploit remote locations to conceal illegal activity.
For local communities, the discovery is particularly significant because the suspected laboratory was not found in an obvious urban setting but on isolated countryside farmland.
The investigation also demonstrates the role of multi-agency policing in tackling serious organised crime, with national investigators working alongside local police, firefighters and emergency medical services.
CONCLUSION
The alleged Warwickshire meth laboratory represents a serious organised-crime investigation in the heart of the English countryside. While four defendants are from Culiacán in the Sinaloa region, there is currently no confirmed NCA statement that the men were operating on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel.
