Sinaloa: Mexican Navy helicopter attacked by gunfire

Lucio R. Borderland Beat material from Reforma and RioDoce

While conducting patrols, Troops of the Ministry of the Navy of Mexico (Semar) who traveled by land and air were attacked by a group of armed men in the state of Sinaloa.

During the operation, in which they claimed four tons and a half of marijuana in bags and packaged ready for transport, the feds called in air support which resulted in a Navy helicopter (Marina/Semar) coming under attack and attacked by gunfire.

The elements fired back in self-defense during the events and two assailants were killed, reported Semar.

The federal agency said the incident occurred yesterday near the ranchería Saco de Agua, Sinaloa. 

"The naval elements develop their operations in compliance with procedures established by the ‘Use of Force, Common Application to the Three Forces’,  and strict respect for human rights" said Semar.

During these actions "in the vicinity of the settlement" Six rifles, magazines and ammunition for the exclusive use of the Armed Forces " were found and seized.


Also, "about 4.5 tons of marijuana packed in bags and ready for transport", which was "destroyed on site by incineration".

  2. They better hope there wasn't any U.S soldiers dressed as Mexican marina in that plane. That's the only way there would be any investigation or prosecutions. It't common for U.S soldiers to dress as Mexican soldiers when cunducting investigations, that's how they caught chapo. Fyi

  7. I feel like alot of us have to admit that we need to get a life someday and leave the narcocultura in the past,if we cant help stopping it or preventin the crimes that involved the cartels and everything related to it,we our a part of th problem to,lets be part of the solution,stop talking about them,do not google anything about the cartels and cartel related violence and the damage the cause to people,we help the cartels grow and we dont even know it,you know how??because we spread the word about it and we are always looking in the internet if somebody died,if someone got detained,if a cartel is killing or if a new beef started between them and the we claim to know everything about it and then try to act cool when we talk about or write about or just by sharing your thoughts to someone else we are actually giving mouth to mouth when it should be a thing of the past and dont let it grow anymore or let get stronger again.....what we are doing is motivating someone that will get the stupid idea of being famouse or rich and its seduce but that wild idea of being rich or powerful,someone one famous or feared,....remeber these are killers,heartless scumbugs,they are not sane people,they are psychopaths and and only like to cause pain to people.we are normal people and we wouldn't want anything happening to somebody we know or close to us....we dont kow whats going because we mostly are not involved in it or live it,we have our opinions but we are not sure whats going on only speculate and pass around rumors that we make by having and idea of whats going or what would you do if you where them.....its a fantasy world we made for us and we are making them more famouse and thats what they want......they use us as a way to get publicity by spreading they word about the killings,how they live and who are they with...causing a efect of fear to the normall people and to there enemies and that way switch sides or make them surrender...there using us people

    5. I( sure have to disagree with you . If its covered up and not before the publics eye it will only get worse.
      All this talk about it exposes it . Sooner or later this narco culture in mexico will be killed out or be isolated from other countries . Changes are made not by ignoring but exposing .

    7. Narco cultura is in every society in the world. Just by a different name. All kids think gangsters a badass, everybody loves an outlaw. The reason it is so big in Mexico is because people are poor and the government is unpopular. Narco cultura is a reflection of the problems in Mexico currently.

    15. You either work for the cartels or simply out of your mind...That logic works with some things but i hardly believe it works in a case where those getting media and internet attention dont want it to begin with.Narcos sell drugs to make money.The least attention they get the more money they are able to make.The more attention they get the more likely they will be arrested or robbed or murdered which they would likely try to avoid.

      Delete
    16. 8:41 you must really dumb,most of the "narcos"sicarios and the rest of the low lifes want attention,they want to be famouse,known and feard!!thats why they use the media to show off guns,money,power all that stuff.Everybody likes attention no matter what you say,i think you are stuck in the past,there are hardly no more drug dealers or capos that don't like attention.

    3. Do you seriously think that they're going to find a banker in seca de agua? The marines and the Army routinely patrol This part of the sinaloa Sierra because inhabitants of these rancherias are producers or growers of marihuana or poppie plants. That's what they're going to find there. The authorities are doing a fairly good job that's why the turmoil. Like or not, they do reduce the flow of drugs.

      Delete
    4. 10:04
      No I don't think they will find a banker in La Sierra, I think they would find the bankers in offices. My point is that they are not in the offices investigating where the money goes, just in La Sierra saying they're destroying drugs that are nothing compared to what makes it over the border. As Gadejo said they might not have even destroyed the weed. Chapo remains free...

      They don't reduce the flow of drugs! Maybe by 2% or something. But on doesn't change anything! All it does is lock up people so the government can spend more money keeping them in prison and destroy the lives of farming families in La Sierra that are forced to grow drugs to feed themsleves!

    7. There is a special financial investigating unit within the Mx.government that is working to combat money laundering, but we dont hear too much about it. There has been some high profile arrests in some of the big banks,but for every banker that gets arrested, there is tens of other people that raised the money for which this banker got arrested for laundering.

  28. Readers:
    The wording "shot down" was used in reports of yesterday, I used the wording but IMO the helicopter looked shot at not shot down, however, I thought maybe it was forced down by multiply gunfire impacts. Today in checking RioDoce they have changed their wording after editing the story to attacked by gunfire. I have done the same. Reforma is using "attacked" also.

  32. It only amazes you because you naiively believes that the US media is free from special interest groups and is there to give you an unbiased and honest view of our society and the world.

    If you want to stop being amazed you gotta wake up and start looking for answers to all those glaring contradictions between reality and the media story in the US.

    Guns, crime, alcohol, drunk driving (social problems) have killed 100's of 1000 of Americans, whereas terrorists 'only' a few 1000 (assuming 9/11 was a REAL terrorist attack). We prefer to spend billions fighting wars far away resulting in the death of 100's of 1000 of locals (non-whites) instead of investing in education and infrastructure at home.

    The mass slaughter in Mexico is the result of US anti-drug policy where the rotten Mexican political and military elite could never exist without US support. Any revolutionary grass root movement in Mexico is quelled with US support (the Zapatista was the most glaring example) which will also happen to the Autodefensas if they gro 'too much'.
