Tamaulipas, which borders the US state of Texas, is among the most violent in Mexico, with the Gulf cartel also wreaking havoc in the region. The six rifles and grenade launchers were found in the two pickups along with cartridges of various calibers and a smaller gun. A police car was left with several bullet holes but none of the officers were hurt. San Fernando is known as the municipality where 72 migrants, most from Central America, were slaughtered by the Zetas drug cartel in August 2010.
