SAA event in Mexico on Tue 26th May 2026

A joint operation by federal and state forces located a massive arsenal inside a property in the Juan Bautista Vega neighborhood of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo, during the execution of a search warrant related to investigations into forced disappearances. The deployment of law enforcement and armed forces maintained strict operational control of the perimeter. Investigations in the area have intensified following violent incidents in the municipality, a region where criminal groups seek to conceal their forensic and logistical infrastructure far from the primary urban radar. No arrests were reported at the scene. The total seizure includes seven AK-47 and AR-15 rifles, two 9mm handguns, one grenade launcher, 90 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, 42 magazines, four drum magazines, a white powder consistent with cocaine, two ballistic vests bearing the FGR (Attorney General's Office) insignia, one tactical helmet, ballistic plates, three cell phones, and three vehicles: a Hilux, an Audi, and an Ibiza. Our reporter in the area confirmed that official units blocked pedestrian access near 66th Street. The evidence and the property were placed under the custody of the Public Prosecutor's Office for further investigation.
