Mexicali PD achieved an ammunition and weapons seizure, as well as three impounded cars, as they responded to an emergency call received by the C5 Control Center which reported a white pickup Ram truck and another two cars arriving to two houses in Progreso Valley section, mentioning that four individuals, armed and wearing bulletproof vests, got off the cars and entered two houses all in the Progreso Valley area.
The announcement mentioned a probable abduction, the impounding of three cars and the aforementioned arsenal, but there were no people detained and there´s no information about the probable kidnapping of individuals, since the information issued by Mexicali PD didn´t mention anything regarding that matter.
