The reported inventory included 10 long guns, 44 magazines, 1,900 rounds of ammunition, 20 tactical vests, 13 ballistic plates and 20 improvised explosive devices. The material was placed under the custody of the relevant authorities for investigative proceedings, according to the report.

Los Noticieristas Policiaca says the operation formed part of security actions carried out in Sinaloa.

The seizure occurred at two locations in the municipality of Escuinapa, in southern Sinaloa. The report describes the discovery as a single security result covering both sites, but it provides no independent confirmation of the inventory or additional details about the explosive devices. Los Noticieristas Policiaca reports that the items remained in official custody while authorities conducted the corresponding inquiries.
