Uruapan Operation Seizes Rifle and About 4 Kilos of Suspected Meth in Pickup

Officials say the Matanguarán discovery stems from Blindaje Uruapan, a coordinated deployment that continues after arrests reported the day before.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil, the Mexican Army and the National Guard located a white Silverado in Matanguarán during the joint security sweep.
  • Inside the vehicle, officers found a rifle, 160 cartridges, five magazines, 24 doses and a bag with approximately four kilograms of a substance with the characteristics of methamphetamine.
  • Two tactical vests bearing the initials CJNG were secured as evidence during the operation.
  • Authorities said the vehicle, weapons and drugs will be turned over to the competent authority for legal proceedings.
  • The seizure follows a related action a day earlier that recovered high‑powered weapons and led to at least six detentions, with an extensive aerial and ground deployment maintained in Uruapan.
