In Sinaloa, armored trucks secured in possible clandestine armoring workshop
Authorities seized two artisanal armored trucks and boxes containing evidence possibly linked to criminal activities in Guamúchil, Sinaloa.
On February 17, federal forces conducted a raid on a house located on Poliducto Pemex street in the 10 de Mayo neighborhood of Guamúchil, Sinaloa, where they secured two artisanal armored trucks and several boxes believed to be connected to criminal activities. The residence had been under federal protection since February 13, awaiting a judicial order to proceed with the search.
Upon receiving the search warrant from the competent authorities, personnel from the State Attorney General's Office entered the premises to conduct the necessary inspections and seizure operations. Forensic experts were involved, performing meticulous investigations and removals during the operation. At least three packaged boxes were taken from the site, containing suspected evidence, though detailed information regarding their contents has not yet been officially released.
The seizure highlights ongoing issues regarding organized crime in Mexico, particularly in the Sinaloa region, known for its historical ties to drug trafficking and criminal organizations. The discovery of these vehicles and related materials in a clandestine workshop points towards a possible link between the construction of armored trucks and criminal enterprises, raising concerns about the escalation of violent confrontations in the area.
