Authorities Say Huetamo Raids Yield 7 Arrests, Weapons and Drugs

Officials say court-ordered searches tied to ongoing investigations yielded contraband.

Overview

  • State and federal agents supporting the state prosecutor executed two search warrants across six properties in Huetamo, according to an official statement.
  • Seven people were detained—three women and four men—who authorities say are linked to a criminal cell.
  • Seized items include seven firearms of .223 and .22 caliber, a shotgun, ammunition, bulk marijuana, 24 bags of a white granular substance, tactical gear, slot machines, vehicles, and captive animals.
  • Naval personnel used tear gas to disperse residents who tried to block security forces near the Guardia Civil barracks during the operation’s withdrawal.
  • The update contrasts with earlier local reports that suggested at least 16 detentions and the capture of a high-ranking suspect, which had not been confirmed.
