| Following the gunfight in Cadereyta, Nuevo Leon |
Los Pilares is roughly two kilometers west of Cadereyta on Nuevo Leon State Highway 16. Cadereyta itself is 12 kilometers east of Monterrey. Some drug gangs use the road between Cadereyta and Allende farther south as a bypass to Monterrey. Numerous gunfights and pursuits between those gangs and Mexican security forces have in the past taken place along the road.
Following the gunfight, soldiers seized 10 AK-47 rifles, weapons magazines and ammunition and one vehicle.
