Elements of the Mexican Army secured a massive weapons cache containing 59 high-powered firearms, including a Barrett rifle and a Browning machine gun, alongside thousands of useful cartridges and hundreds of magazines during a targeted deployment near the municipal seat of Rosario, in the southern region of Sinaloa, Mexico.
The operation unfolded during the early hours of Sunday, September 13, 2026, following coordinated ground reconnaissance patrols and heightened surveillance efforts driven by strategic military intelligence in the southern part of the state.
During the operational sweep through the area, military personnel confiscated the following tactical equipment and weaponry:
- - 50 AK-47 assault rifles.
- - 7 M-4 assault rifles.
- - 1 Barrett .50 caliber high-precision rifle.
- - 1 Browning .50 caliber machine gun.
- - Hundreds of magazines of various calibers.
- - Thousands of useful cartridges of different calibers.
Local authorities and security experts emphasize that operations of this nature are crucial for reducing the operational capacity of criminal groups operating in the region. Community representatives expressed a cautious sense of relief, noting that sustained security patrols help restore public order.
The confiscated armaments, ammunition, and military gear were formally transferred to the Federal Public Ministry under the jurisdiction of the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR). The federal institution is currently responsible for compiling the corresponding investigative files and conducting comprehensive ballistic analyses to determine the exact origin of the weapons and identify potential individuals involved.
