Nicaragua Seizes Arms Cache From Mexico Drug
Gang
MANAGUA — Nicaraguan police have seized a
large cache of weapons and explosives from
suspected members of Mexico's Sinaloa drug
cartel after a police car chase outside
Managua, a spokeswoman said.
The weapons included 61 automatic rifles,
mostly AK-47's and four M-16s, two grenade
launchers, 10 hand grenades, 20 sticks of
dynamite and more than 19,000 rounds of
ammunition, Vilma Reyes told a press
briefing.
They were found inside a car the suspected
drug traffickers fled from after being
chased by police on the Panamerican highway,
outside Managua, she added.
The police operation was deemed a success,
despite the suspects' getaway, thanks to
police and military intelligence work in
tracking the movements of the alleged
Sinaloa members inside Nicaragua, the
spokeswoman said. |
