Mexican and U.S. authorities seize 43,000 ammunition rounds and arrest CJNG suspects

Mexican federal, state and local prosecutors announced a series of arrests and prosecutions targeting organized‑crime and violent offenders. In Nayarit, investigators detained Carlos “N”, the nephew of Audias Flores Silva, known as “El Jardinero”, and two associates on weapons‑possession and drug‑trafficking charges linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Separate operations in Mexico City, Ecatepec, Hidalgo, Michoacán and other states resulted in the detention and processing of individuals for extortion, homicide, femicide, and family‑violence crimes. In parallel, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 43,000 cartridges at the Mariposa port of entry in Arizona, describing the haul as destined for Mexican criminal groups. The joint actions underscore heightened law‑enforcement efforts against cartel‑related violence and illicit arms trafficking across the Mexico‑U.S. border.
