Two women located in Mazatlán

Noroeste Seguridad reports that naval personnel located two women in La Mora Escarbada, in the municipality of Mazatlán, Sinaloa, who told authorities they had been deprived of their liberty. The report says the operation was conducted during ground-surveillance patrols under “Operación Sable,” and that a vehicle found at the location contained two magazines, ammunition and explosive devices. The women’s account and the circumstances of their recovery remain attributed to the source and the Navy statement it cites.

Noroeste Seguridad says the Navy also found an abandoned vehicle during a separate patrol, with a magazine and ammunition inside. In a third event near Isla del Bosque in Escuinapa, naval personnel reportedly found a handgun, 237 cartridges, 12 magazines and tactical equipment. The supplied record does not identify the women, say how long they had been missing, or provide information about arrests.

According to Noroeste Seguridad, the recovered women were escorted to the South Regional Public Prosecutor’s Office specialized in forced disappearance cases, where they were placed at the disposal of the appropriate authorities for legal procedures. The seized vehicles, weapons, ammunition, explosives and tactical equipment were also turned over to competent authorities. The source does not include an independent prosecutor’s statement or details about any resulting charges.
