Four vehicles with homemade armoring processes, of the so-called “monster” type, were seized in a search carried out on an agricultural property in the El Arenoso ejido, in the municipality of Pitiquito, Sonora.
The diligence was carried out by elements of the Criminal Investigation Ministerial Agency (AMIC) in coordination with members of the Mexican Army.
The vehicles were in a warehouse that functioned as a workshop to be fitted with metal plates and other adaptations, which were seized based on a search warrant granted to recover evidence of the alleged crime of improper firing of firearms and/or whatever else.
