A search warrant operation led by the Attorney General's Office (FGR), with perimeter support from the Mexican Army and the National Guard, resulted in the dismantling of a clandestine workshop dedicated to the manufacture and modification of vehicles with improvised armor—commonly known as "monsters"—in the capital of the state of Durango.

The operation was carried out this Friday, July 10, inside an industrial building located in the Las Palmas neighborhood. According to preliminary reports from federal authorities, the facility operated under the guise of a crane services company.
