An unknown number of armed suspects assaulted the municipal police station in Gomez Farias, which is about 360 kilometers northwest of Chihuahua city, the capital. Gomez Farias is on Mexico Highway 5. Reports say armed individuals entered the station firing weapons causing damage to the building. The suspects left with two AR-15 assault rifles and one 9mm weapon. Suspects also made off with three radios. No one was reported wounded in the attack. Armed direct fire attacks on police stations and armory robberies are not common in Mexico. The last armory robbery was a nighttime raid of a Chihuahua state police armory a year ago to the day in which 40 H&K G36 assault rifles were stolen, along with ammunition. To date, only one of the weapons have been recovered in a shootout with Mexican Federal agents near the Juarez Municipal Centro de Readaptacion Social (CERESO). |
