A major operation took place this Tuesday, August 5, in the municipality of Guasave, where the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO), part of the Attorney General's Office (FGR), reportedly seized a ranch and three other properties.

This was part of four simultaneous searches carried out in urban and rural areas of the municipality.

In addition, during the operations, the FEMDO had the support of the Mexican Army, the National Guard, and the State Preventive Police, who mounted operations outside the buildings to provide security.

There were four searches.

The operations began in the early hours of Tuesday and took the residents of Guasave by surprise. Two of the searches were carried out in the urban area of the municipal seat, and the other two in the rural area.

The operation was heavily guarded by federal and state agents, who cordoned off the areas targeted by the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime while the corresponding investigations were carried out.

Sources from the Attorney General's Office confirmed to Luz Noticias the four searches, which were recorded at the following locations:

• Ejidal Colony: on a property located on Sauces Street, between Juan S. Millán Boulevard and Heriberto Valdés Street.
• Centro Colony: on Colón Street, in front of the Oxxo store known as "El Oxxo de la Cuchilla," where the largest number of armored vehicles was reported.
• Private Ranch: located on the highway that connects Bamoa Pueblo to Guasave, approximately one kilometer ahead of the community of Nío.
• Bamoa Pueblo: on a property located directly across from the offices of the municipal government.
• A significant presence of members of the Mexican Army, the National Guard, and the State Police was observed at all locations.

Arrests or seizures

So far, no official information has been released on whether any arrests were made during the searches or whether any criminal objects were seized inside the properties.

Specifically, federal authorities placed seizure seals FED/FEMDO/UEIMDS-SIN/0000573/2025 on the ranch—a property measuring several hectares—located between Bamoa Pueblo and Guasave, just over 1 km ahead of Nio. This indicates that evidence relevant to the investigation may have been found.

Meanwhile, at the homes located in the Centro and Ejidal neighborhoods, security forces conducted interior searches, but no information was released on whether they found any items related to an investigation.

Sources from the Attorney General's Office in Sinaloa confirmed the seizure of the four properties and indicated that the searches stem from intelligence work carried out by the FEMDO.

They also clarified that the Specialized Federal Prosecutor's Office does not inform the Sinaloa state delegation about the content of the investigations or the evidence seized, as these are confidential proceedings.

Results of the Inter-Institutional Operation

At this time, authorities have not issued an official statement on the results of the inter-institutional operation. However, the Attorney General's Office is expected to release information through its institutional channels in the coming hours.

It is worth mentioning that this operation is part of a series of deployments carried out by the inter-institutional security group since last Friday in various areas of the municipality of Guasave, with the exception of Sunday, when the presence of federal and state forces has continued through patrols, operations, and searches.
