During a patrol, members of the National Guard secured grenades, improvised explosive devices, long arms, magazines, useful cartridges and tactical equipment bearing the initials of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation, in the municipality of Xalisco, Nayarit.

The federal agency announced on Saturday afternoon that the discovery was made during security and crime prevention patrols in the town of Trigomil in the municipality of Xalisco, Nayarit.

There, the national guardsmen participating in the National Public Security Strategy in the state of Nayarit received a citizen's report alerting them to the presence of armed persons on board a pickup truck in front of a construction site.

With the characteristics, the officers went to the site and with the proper security measures, they went there.

They then spotted a group of armed individuals who, upon seeing the officers, escaped and fired at the officers, but none of them were injured.

A security operation was implemented to locate them, but no one was captured, but a vehicle was secured in the interior of which seven 35 millimeter grenades were found; seven improvised explosive devices, one of which was in a suitcase.

They also found five long arms, 50 magazines, 930 cartridges of different calibers and tactical equipment such as backpacks, knapsacks and vests with the CJNG acronym.

The seized items were handed over to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office for further investigation.
