The Mexican army has seized the firearms of local police in the Sinaloa city of Culiacan as cartel violence has escalated, dozens have been killed in the streets and distrust in the police grows.
The Mexican army has seized the weapons of local police in the cartel-dominated city of Culiacan in the country’s northwest Sinaloa state as violence and gunfights have ravaged the city in recent weeks, reports said this week. Following the seizures, the roughly 1,000-strong police force was pulled off the streets by the state's governor, Ruben Rocha, noting they will not be reinstated until their weapons are returned.
Soldiers, state police and national guard units have instead been called in to stand in the place of the local police while the army runs checks on weaponry serial numbers and validates permits. Rocha claimed the checks were 'exceptional' and said he hopes the non-routine procedures 'will end soon.
