25th May 2026
Security forces seized a stolen vehicle, heavy weaponry, and various illicit substances after a chase involving armed civilians in the rural area of Culiacán, Sinaloa. The operation began in the town of Estación Rosales, where the suspects attempted to flee by throwing tire spikes onto roads to block the officers' path. The pursuit ended in the El Tamarindo district, where a property used by the alleged criminals was located. During the inspection of the site and the abandoned vehicle, law enforcement officials seized AK-47 assault rifles, magazines of varying capacities, tactical vests, several doses of methamphetamine, 2C-B, and marijuana, as well as multiple slot machines operating illegally in the area. Our reporter on the ground confirmed the presence of three armored forensic units guarding the perimeter of the building while the seized items were being moved. The Attorney General's Office is continuing its investigation to identify those responsible for this deployment.
