During the search operation for 10 miners, personnel from the Mexican Navy located the sites and also seized weapons in two locations in Concordia.

Search operations for the ten missing miners resulted in the seizure of ammunition, tactical equipment, an improvised explosive device, and the discovery of 10 camps in the municipality of Concordia, Sinaloa.

The first operation was carried out during aerial and ground patrols in the town of El Verde, where naval personnel seized 1,600 rounds of ammunition, 46 magazines, an improvised explosive device, four tactical vests, and a ballistic helmet.

In a second operation, in the town of Los Naranjos, also located in the mountainous region, ten camps belonging to organized crime were located and dismantled.

They were searching for miners and located the Concordia camps.

As a preventive measure that weakens their capabilities, protects the civilian population, and reaffirms the institution's commitment to strengthening security, efforts were made to dismantle and secure the area.

The explosive device was destroyed in the area by specialized personnel, while the remaining seized items were turned over by personnel from the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection to the competent federal authorities to be included in the corresponding investigation files.

With these actions, the Secretariat of the Navy, through the Mexican Navy, reaffirms its commitment to strengthening security, combating crimes that affect the population, and contributing to the maintenance of public order.

Sicario: Whats your name?

Captive: Sebastian Martinez Perez. Everyone knows me as 05. 

Sicario: How old are you?

Captive: 39. 

Sicario: Where you from?

Captive: Tamazula, Durango. But I currently live in Culiacán, Sinaloa. 

Sicario: Which criminal group do you work for?

Captive: I belong to the Cabreras mob. In addition, I report to El Picudo who in turn works for Mayito Flaco. 

Sicario: Whats your job?

Captive: I recruit people to fight in the towns of Cásala, El Salto, and other areas. 

Sicario: Is there something that you’d like to say to your buds from that criminal cell that you belonged to?

Captive: Things are tough out here. It’s best that everyone give it some thought before engaging in anything because this isn’t a game. As you can see my companions are in the same boat that I’m in. And the honest truth is that the Chapiza mob is to tough to defeat. Everyone is asking for people to come work with them out here but they honestly don’t need them. It’s best for everyone to just stay the fuck out of this. We’re out here dying of hunger and there isn’t any support for us. We’ve been out here for several days now and we haven’t had any help. Just stay the fuck out of this. Otherwise, the same fate that we’ve had awaits you guys. Everyone that was told that they’d ascend within the organization needs to just to stay away if you’re seeing this video. The Chapiza mob isn’t easy to defeat. We’re fighting for a mob that can’t always provide what all we need. These gentlemen spared my wife the day I was captured. I was told that they don’t mess with women and immediately let her go. The message is clear gentlemen. I already know that my life has gone to shit. But for everyone out there that still has a chance. It’s best that you stay the fuck out of this conflict. Don’t bother going into Culiacán either because everything will end horribly for you. There’s no reason why our mob should have us out here like this. As everyone can see my partners have also been captured…
