Elota, Sinaloa.- Within the framework of the coordinated actions of the Security Cabinet, various security forces carried out high-impact operations in several municipalities of Sinaloa this weekend, achieving important seizures of firearms, drugs, armored vehicles and war materials, in an effort to dismantle criminal groups and reduce violence in the region.

In Elota, elements of the Mexican Army managed to seize 50 kilos of methamphetamine, with an approximate value of 14 million pesos, in addition to a long weapon and cartridges, all this in a security operation that highlights the continued presence of organized crime in the area.

In Mazatlán, in the context of Operation Sable, a joint operation between the FGR, the Semar, and the Mexican Army, allowed the search of a property in the El Castillo neighborhood, which operated as a clandestine vehicle armoring workshop.

Nine vehicles were seized at this location, three of them armored, as well as firearms, doses of drugs and material for armoring vehicles.

841 cartridges, 120 doses of cocaine, 37 doses of marijuana, and several vehicles used in illegal activities were also seized.

In addition, during another operation in Mazatlán, two kidnapped people were released after the arrest of an individual linked to criminal activities.

In this search, slot machines used in illegal operations were also seized.

In Rosario, a joint operation between the Mexican Army, the National Guard, the Semar, the FGR and the state Public Security Secretariat resulted in the arrest of a subject with an impressive arsenal: 10 long weapons, three short weapons, 25 improvised explosive devices, a grenade launcher attachment, cartridges of different calibers, more than three kilos of marijuana and various material for the manufacture of explosives.

An armored vehicle was also seized. These types of seizures reflect the strength of the operations in the region to dismantle criminal structures.

In Concordia, the Mexican Army managed to seize magazines, cartridges and a vehicle, key elements in the logistics and mobilization of criminal groups in the area.

These seizures are part of a comprehensive security strategy implemented by the federal government, which seeks to dismantle arms and drug trafficking networks and the use of armored vehicles by organized crime groups.

The authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintain a presence in the region to guarantee the safety of citizens and dismantle criminal organizations that operate in Sinaloa and other states.
