Three more cartel training camps have been shut down by authorities in Jalisco this week after they were located by a helicopter equipped with night vision gear.

The state Attorney General’s office conducted the surveillance of the Ahuisculco and Navajas regions in the municipality of Tala on Wednesday night. On Thursday morning 400 state police officers and four Army units were sent in to dismantle the facilities, operated by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

The security forces found the first camp had been abandoned but not the second, where they encountered resistance. One alleged criminal was killed in the ensuing gunfight and 16 other people were arrested, including a Honduras national and three men who had been reported missing.

The authorities arrested two more men in the third camp where they were guarding drugs and preparing meals, purportedly for the men in the second facility.

The authorities seized two firearms, 15 motorcycles and combat training materials printed in English.

Jalisco Attorney General Jesús Eduardo Almaguer Ramírez said another operation was mounted in the city of Tala to arrest the man believed to be in charge of the camps, but only a subordinate was located.
