An Armed Clash Has Been Reported on the Border Between Jalisco and Zacatecas

“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat 



On Saturday afternoon, a clash took place between armed civilians and members of the Public Security forces in the community of Laurel, located within the municipality of Tepetongo.


According to police sources, the incident reportedly began in the state of Jalisco around 7:20 p.m., subsequently moving into Zacatecas territory and passing through various municipalities and communities situated along the border region between the two states.


Among the locations identified as points through which the confrontation passed were Colotlán, Chimaltitán, Totatitle, Bolaños, Villa Guerrero, and Santa María de los Ángeles, before finally reaching the Tepetongo area in Zacatecas.


Residents of these regions reported the presence of "Monstruos"—vehicles featuring improvised armor plating—as well as at least two other units carrying armed civilians.


As of now, authorities have not officially confirmed whether there were any injuries, fatalities, or arrests resulting from this incident.


The towns of Colotlán, Chimaltitán, Totatitle, Bolaños, Villa Guerrero, and Santa María de los Ángeles all fall within Zacatecas and Jalisco.

  1. These monster trucks are very easily seen from the sky and they are very slow. Why can't the Mexican army use small improvised missiles to blast these trucks away from the sky? These cartel members wouldn't have any thick metal to protect them from the army or their rivals. Nuff Said!!!

    1. Nuffy, what would the Army be doing up in the sky?
      Perhaps you're thinking of the Air Force.
      The forces that patrol the seas are the Navy.
      Try to remember the 3 different corps, it's not that hard to remember:
      Army
      Navy
      Air Force.
      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  2. I remember a commenter on here, I think he went by the name 'Zacetecas' -he lived in a rural area in that state and sometimes on cold winter nights he could hear a crew turning on their monster trucks [sometimes in cold weather it's more efficient to just let the engine run?} but I digress, he said it was frightening because the crew had established a base so close to his home and what a foreboding sound to wake up to knowing your kids are sleeping in the bedroom next to you and that BS is going on outside your humble abode, trying to keep your kids safe and not think about the future too much-

  4. Drug traffiking will never end, did destroying the Medellin Cartel , Cali Cartel then the North Valley Cartel in Colombia stop it? NO.
    Why?
    because the cartels are 50 percent of the problem , the other 50 percent is the American consumer.
    The American government gave the family of a convicted armed robber $36 million for his self induced fentaly overdose. This increased fentanyl abuse by like 60 percent . They even have a slogan "I can't breeve".
