SAA event in Mexico on Mon 25th May 2026

Mexican Army, National Guard, and State Police troops arrested eight people in the Chapultepec neighborhood of Culiacán, Sinaloa, after launching an operation following a citizen's report. Upon arriving at the scene, we were able to verify that the suspects attempted to escape by jumping over the walls of neighboring houses, but were apprehended a short distance away. The criminal group consists of five men, one woman, and two minors. The arsenal seized by law enforcement consists of:

- 4 AK-47 rifles
- 1 M4 carbine caliber 5.56 mm
- 1 rifle caliber 5.56 mm
- 1 machine gun caliber 5.56 mm
- 37 magazines
- More than 1,100 rounds of ammunition of various calibers
- 7 tactical vests with ballistic plates
- 2 vehicles.
This operation in the Chapultepec neighborhood is directly linked to the dismantling of a laboratory in El Progreso, under the containment and investigation strategy that the Attorney General's Office maintains active in the Sinaloa capital.
