The Knights Templar Ranch is Raided

Borderland Beat

In Michoacan, army troops seized a ranch allegedly owned by Enrique Plancarte Solis, "La Chiva"/ Kike Plancarte or just "Kiki," noted as one of the main leaders of the criminal organization The Knights Templar.

The Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) said yesterday in a statement that the confiscation took place last Saturday after a gun battle with an  number of people in which one of the suspects died.

The Mexican army seized weapons, drugs, and money on a ranch in the western state of Michoacan apparently owned by Enrique Plancarte Solís, one of the alleged leaders of the criminal organization the Knights Templar.

The rest of the "Knights" managed to escape from the ranch, located in the town of Los Cuiniques, in the town of Apatzingán.  The ranch "was used by organized crime for various illegal purposes."

In the building, military personnel found 15 handguns, 19 rifles, 1 Barret rifle, more than a hundred grenades, three rockets, 1 anti-tank rocket launchers, 339 magazines of different calibers, over 22,000 cartridges and five swords.

Also confiscated 1.1 million pesos (equivalent to about $85,000), $3123.10 in American dollars, two vehicles, and small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and crystal. 

According to the Ministry of Defense, this operation "managed to affect the Knights  of Templar's criminal organization through limiting their operational and logistical structures and their areas of influence."

The Knights Templar is a pseudorreligious organization that emerged din 2011 after the death of the leader of the Familia Michoacana, Nazario Moreno Gonzalez, alias "El Chayo", in a clash with security forces in 2010.

Soon the group, led by Servando Gómez Martínez, alias "La Tuta"; Enrique Plancarte, "La Chiva," Dionisio Loya Plantare, "el Tio," managed to gain control of the drug trade in Michoacán and extended their  area of influence to neighboring regions.

  3. Does anyone really think that Los Caballeros Templarios will make any gains in Northern Mexico? They still seem like small time to me. I haven't heard any responses from the other cartels that La Tuta calls on for help?

    1. Do not think because a group is not in the media so much that they are small or incapable. If you ever come down to Apatzingan you will see how small we are, we patrol openly more than police and military combined. The government is trying to steal money that they have promised to perform actions and are setting up. We are not CDG, we will not now to the government traitors. We try to conduct ourselves in peace but that is no longer possible, citizens are completely safe, we do not target the clean hands.

  10. I'm kind of despondent that the police didn't confiscate any more of those nifty, plastic, Knights of Templar helmets that I love so much. Maybe they were carefully stashed in a tree house in the forest where all good apprentices (allegedly) go to practice maneuvers with swords.

  13. These "Scum Bags" who have the balls to call themselves Sicarios, think nothing of murdering
    Women and Children as well as Geriatics. What type of lives do these "Dirt Bags" profess to Live..?
    They all need to be Exterminated like the insects

  17. Friends,
    At this time we can no longer be at peace with our backstabbing government. To the citizens of our motherland are safe from harm as their hands are clean. Do not be deceived, we own Michocan, and we totally run Apatzingan. The government will not take us until every knight is dead in a pool of blood. We are warriors who will never lay down our shield. We will take on any traitor whether it be Z-50, Los Zetas or the so called armada de Mexico. We will not run away in our own home. If our money was good and you shook our hands many times why now are you turning against us. Since when have we kidnapped innocents other than drunks rapists murderers and theives. When our police could not control our state WE took control and WE the Templarios cleaned our state. We put the curfews, we got rid of the town drunks and built homes and play grounds. There are plenty tyrant groups with no order and you embarrass us as if we are street hustlers? We demand a return to peace on your end or we can play the same game as you.

    1. I have family in apatzingan and they have good things to say of the temps. I hear they take care of children and let farmers use land on there ranches to grow avacadoes etc. they built a church and some playgrounds have parties for the children and give good to the starving. They run a lot of legit business in Apatzingan, I think we just need to let them be order the murders to stop and let them do there business as long as they get along. I'm all about business and there is a lot of money to be made I don't see how it's any different from alcohol or cigarettes which kill more people than all drugs combined. It's never going away we need to learn from our mistakes it's not worth these good young soldiers lives, I don't choose to use drugs, but a lot of people do and that's their choice. I had to get violent a few times selling drugs, but that's because these punks want to short you cut your shit or short change you. And in the business if you get pinned once your fucked,

  35. CARTELS smugglers jeep gets stuck on border fence ! :-)))

    U.S. Border Patrol agents from Yuma foiled the
    smuggling attempt when came across a Jeep Cherokee that had become "high centered" at the top of a make-shift ramp.

    Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Enrique Zarate told "We've also seen attempted
    smugglers trying to ramp over the Normandy barrier using sandbags to
    build a bridge".

    The two suspects fled into Mexico.

  40. Getting rid of town drunks?? why not get rid of the people that are decapitating others? I mean really a town drunk is more annoying than dangerous. You are still using violence, selling and/or using drugs and do you really need those weapons to keep the town in check? You want the the world to believe this is a save the world organization however it is a save yourself and continue a life of crime period. Lazca built a church or gave funds for the construction so what? lipstick on a pig is still a pig. What a shame this guy who heads this "cartel" was a respected leader in the teaching arena and now he resorts to lame youtube videos calling for help to kill the Z's. Sorry to break your bubble but the Z's will go down like they all do and it won't be because of some centuries old relgious fanatics playing knights and swords. get real. This cartel is not a huge threat to the security of mexico like the others because they are showing crackhead moves and the background in your videos look like dollar store trinkets pinned to the wall. We are not laughing with you rather at you.

    Have you got permission to be talking about your workings?Don't get me wrong,it clears things up a little if you show us what your intended mission is?
    Sometimes what you are doing is undoubtedly needed,when the police are on offer to the highest bidder,even the killers are the police.I hope you speak the truth,and also that you regulate your member's.If members commit certain transgressions again and again,if you don't act against those rogue members,it shines a light onto you all.
    You know this already,it has to be policed by its own members.I hope you can be successful for your own decent people,most people do not have the stomach to kill and possibly lose their lives,that is why we have soldiers and"others"

    If you are a member of CT how can that be right?You say you don't touch"clean hands"these are farmers who work hard for not much money,they don't deserve to be extorted for their hard earned money?
    If the extorters are not members,they are using your name?As protectors this is exactly the type of behavior you should stop.If it is your members,then your CT is no good to the community at large?

    1. This is something I have left in answered, I will now do so. Some of these so called extorters are not brothers. Some are brothers but with a force as large as ours how could we keep up with all? Not even the most trusted state or federals can keep order over every single person. Also some farmers we let them use land on our ranches to grow. I know that there are ones who join us only to abuse our name, but it's something we try to control I am personally sorry for those members but they will soon be found out and taken care of
