In a major operation against organized crime, Mexico’s Federal Security Cabinet reported the success of several raids and search warrants that resulted in the seizure of a significant arsenal and high-impact explosive materials in the state of Durango.
These actions were the result of strategic coordination among the Mexican Army, the National Guard, the Navy, the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), and the Attorney General’s Office (FGR), which continue to maintain an active presence in various regions of the country.
Raid in Durango City: More Than 50 Explosive Devices Seized
One of the key operations took place in the capital city of Durango. Mexican Army personnel, together with FGR agents, executed a search warrant at a property that was being used as a storage center for hazardous materials.
At the site, authorities located and seized:
- 26 improvised explosive devices.
- 25 additional explosive components.
- 74 detonators and 200 meters of detonating fuse.
- 3 kilograms of gunpowder.
Authorities emphasized that this material posed a high risk due to its destructive potential and its usefulness in the manufacture of explosive devices.
Operation in San Dimas: Arsenal and Tactical Equipment Confiscated
At the same time, in the municipality of San Dimas, members of the National Guard and the Mexican Army discovered a hidden weapons cache. The seizure in this mountainous region included:
- 10 long guns.
- 85 magazines and 2,570 rounds of ammunition.
- Tactical helmets and ballistic plates.
- Radio communication equipment.
Authorities believe that the equipment belonged to criminal groups operating in the region to maintain control of the area.
Federal Investigation Underway
All weapons, explosives, and tactical equipment were turned over to the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office. This agency will be responsible for opening the corresponding investigations to identify those responsible and determine the origin and intended use of the seized materials.
This operation in Durango adds to other federal security efforts carried out in states such as Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, Sinaloa, and Veracruz, reinforcing the national security strategy.
