After a search conducted by agents of the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) in a property in Tabasco, more than 20 vehicles and other objects were seized, which could be linked to a cell of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). In one of the images shared by the authorities, several white vehicles can be seen, as well as a blue SUV.
The site had tactical equipment, weapons, several motorcycles, and even a trailer and a motorhome. However, authorities did not report any individuals detained after searching for a property on Prolongación 27 de Febrero Avenue in Villahermosa’s Club de Lago neighborhood.
Several reports pointed out that the site would be used by members of the Four Letters Cartel, which is led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho. 19 caps with the initials of the criminal group, which operates in a large part of the country, were even found at the site.
While the authorities did not specify the brands or models of the units found during the search, tracking the cost of at least one of the vehicles and knowing its approximate value is possible.
Five white units appear behind a blue vehicle, apparently an off-road vehicle. According to what can be seen, it is an RZR XP 1000, and it has a price of almost half a million pesos, as it can be acquired for a cost of 449,900 pesos, according to what can be read on the Polaris website.
It is common for various vehicles linked to organized crime to be found in the raids carried out by authorities. Sometimes, criminal groups even have aerial vehicles that help them with their illicit activities.
The internet version of the RZR XP 1000 has 110 horsepower and 29-inch tires and can carry up to 336 kilograms.
In another of the images, another vehicle can be seen in a dark green color, apparently it is a BRP Defender, which is listed on a page of used cars for 395,000 pesos for its 2019 version, according to a publication on Mercado Libre. However, on other websites, it appears to be a price of 170,000 pesos for a used vehicle.
The entity’s authorities have assured that the CJNG does not operate in Tabasco. At the beginning of the year, the commander of the 30th Military Zone, Héctor Francisco Morán, denied the presence of drug cartels and criminal groups after reports of robberies in businesses and stores.
According to Morán González, the crimes in the area are committed by local groups that identify themselves with the name of larger groups.
“I have always understood that we do not have cartels here. They are really a group of vandals who are the same. Formerly known as La Barredora, then they would become the Northeast Cartel when it’s no longer convenient for them to be La Barredora. And then they call themselves the Jalisco Cartel,” the commander said.
In mid-January of last year, several women of Colombian origin were reported missing. In response to these actions, the authorities in Yucatán stated that initial investigations pointed to a man identified as Saulo David, also known as El Jaguar, as the possible perpetrator. He was believed to be the leader of the CJNG in Tabasco. However, on January 14th, one of the women claimed that she and her companions had voluntarily arrived in the country.
