Hermosillo, Son

Elements of the Federal Police in Sonora arrested two subjects who transported in a courier truck more than 11 thousand parts for the preparation of firearm cartridges.

The seizure was recorded when personnel of the Regional Security Division had contact with the driver of a parcel truck about kilometer 227 + 000 of the Altar-Sonoyta highway, section Caborca-Sonoyta, which upon noticing the presence of the uniformed personnel tried evade them but was not successful.

During the exchange of information, the driver of the truck and his companion had several contradictions, so the federal police requested a security inspection of the cargo they were carrying, an action that was accepted by the driver.

Through the inspection, one of the agents located several boxes with irregular weights and dimensions so they were separated to verify their contents.

Thus, personnel of the Federal Police seized 20 gunpowder containers of one pound each, 9 thousand 950 primers for different firearms, as well as 2,800 cal. .270 bullets used for the manufacture of cartridges and which they could not prove its legal provenance.

In this context, staff from the Regional Security Division read the two detainees the Rights Book that Assists People in Detention, and were presented along with the material seized before the corresponding Public Ministry Agency, in order to continue with the research.
