Guerrero Prosecutors Seize Three Aircraft and Clandestine Airstrip in Arcelia After Multi-Agency Raid

Evidence remains under ministerial custody pending inquiries into possible criminal ties.

Overview

  • The state prosecutor’s office detailed the seizure of a Cessna 182, two microlight aircraft, a clandestine landing strip, and assorted cartridges and casings at a property in Arcelia’s Colonia Reforma.
  • Authorities executed a court-authorized search on September 18 after months of investigative and intelligence work focused on irregular activity in the rural area.
  • SEDENA, the National Guard, the federal attorney general’s office, the federal security ministry, and Guerrero’s state police coordinated the operation.
  • The items were placed at the disposal of the ministerial authority as the Fiscalía opens a case file to determine applicable offenses and identify responsible parties.
  • No arrests were announced; earlier in the week, local residents briefly detained federal personnel in an episode the state government described as a confusion.
