The mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo, detailed the discovery of a clandestine training camp in the Purépecha Plateau region of Michoacán, where high-caliber ammunition, tactical clothing, and material linking the area to organized crime activities were found.
“During an operation, we entered the camp after receiving reports of a person who had been deprived of his liberty,” Manzo said. According to the mayor, the find included .50-caliber and AK-47 ammunition, as well as tactical clothing.
He also noted that videos were found on a cell phone abandoned at the site. These images, he stated, show training activities at the training camp.
The operation, carried out around June 7, yielded evidence, although the perpetrators managed to escape. When asked about the criminal organization behind this location, Manzo explained that he doesn’t know the name of the cell, but confirmed that several drug cartels are present in Uruapan, including the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), the Knights Templar, Los Viagra, and others associated with the United Cartels.
