During two raids carried out in two properties in Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos, by personnel from the Secretary of National Defense and the Attorney General's Office, two exotic animals were seized, as well as long arms, magazines and vehicles.

Regarding the first search, the Attorney General's Office informed that members of the Mexican Army, while driving along a dirt road in the community called Las Trancas, in Ixtlahuacán, saw a house with cyclone mesh and a weapon inside, and heard the loud roaring of felines. A search warrant was requested and granted by a judge.

During the execution of the warrant, a tiger cub, a jaguar, three vehicles, three long guns, 14 magazines, 199 cartridges, 21 vests, five bags with marijuana, 14 ballistic plates and seven helmets were found.

The property and the seized items were handed over to the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, who will continue with the investigation for the crime of illegal possession of wildlife and whatever else may result.

In another incident, military elements received several reports that in the town of San Antonio de los Vazquez, also in Ixtlahuacan del Rio, there were armed people. The officers went there and saw a person with a firearm who, upon seeing them, entered the house, without being arrested, but they observed inside a long gun and apparently drugs.

A search was requested and a car, two motorcycles, a long gun, five magazines, 15 cartridges, two tactical vests and two bags containing marijuana were seized.
