Cancún police have confirmed the capture of a notorious student drug dealer known as “Doctor de Villas.” Investigators say he sold marijuana, THC vape pens and LSD tabs to high-school and university students through encrypted messaging apps. In a coordinated raid on his villa, officers found over 100 small bags of pot, dozens of THC cartridges and LSD blotter, along with scales and cash. The 24-year-old suspect and an accomplice – reportedly the dealer’s marketing manager – face charges of drug trafficking and corrupting minors.
The State Special Investigation Unit executed a search warrant in Villas del Mar subdivision, Detention Officials said. The suspect, a 24-year-old man nicknamed “Doctor de Villas,” had been marketing a menu of drugs to teens via WhatsApp and Telegram groups. According to the arrest report, the network operated through “packets” of various drugs delivered to homes in Cancún.
During the early morning raid, agents seized more than a kilogram of illegal substances and drug paraphernalia. On-site, they found 113 small plastic bags of marijuana, plus bulk quantities of pot. They also confiscated 12 cannabis oil vape cartridges (THC) and several LSD blotter tabs. Drug ledgers and scales were among the evidence. A female accomplice – identified as María Juanita “N”, the dealer’s girlfriend – was also detained, suspected of handling the group’s logistics.

Authorities say they tracked the dealer’s encrypted chat groups for weeks before moving in. Parents of the arrested dealer reported that their son sold marijuana and harder drugs to students as young as 17. “He had a list of classes and would deliver to the school or home,” one officer explained. The operation included technicians who catalogued phones, and investigators secured messages showing transaction offers. Police emphasize that targeting online networks is a priority to protect minors from drug abuse.
The accused has a history of minor arrests but was not in any institutional rehabilitation program, according to officials. In statements given after the bust, the prosecutor noted the community’s relief that “Doctor de Villas” is off the street. Investigators have appealed to parents to monitor their children’s devices and report any similar cases. Meanwhile, the two detainees are expected to face charges for drug possession and distribution to minors.
