Badiraguato, Sinaloa -  Moments of panic were lived in the community of La Majada de Arriba, after armed men stormed the community and set fire to buildings and parked vehicles.

The group of criminals apparently wanted to send a message to the Sinaloa Cartel that Rafael Caro Quintero currently commands, due to the struggle that exists between the children of the infamous Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, ” Los Chapitos ” blaming them for the current war against his brother and their uncle identified as “El Guano” Guzmán.

According to reports that unofficially have arisen so far, it was around 5 or 6 am on Friday , May 18 when subjects carrying automatic weapons besieged the  community who abandoned their homes and fled in fear.

A group of armed men broke into the community of La Majada de Arriba, in the Municipality of Badiraguato, Sinaloa, and left  3 houses and  11 cars burned. According to the police report, the subjects asked about the whereabouts of “El Sheriff” or “El Toro”.

Once taken by surprise  in La Majada de Arriba, the gunmen did not let the inhabitants leave their houses, threatening to kill them if they “poked their noses into their business”.

Once they had taken over the place, the armed group set fire to several buildings and parked vehicles, shouting slogans  to the inhabitants that they  “would turn up dead if they talked”.

Outside of the houses, so far there, there have been no reports of deaths or injuries. The criminals kept the population in distress for more than an hour.

Subjects who entered the house placed mattresses, clothing and other items to set them on fire. The fire destroyed three motorcycles and four cars and trucks.

Elements of the Municipal and State Police arrived after two hours, reinforced by personnel of the Mexican Army and Military Police.  So far no one has been detained.

“We only have the report of a house that had a report of a fire and some vehicles, that was practically all the information, when it was attended by the staff they have not provided any information”, explained the undersecretary of operations of the Ministry of Public Security, Cristóbal Castañeda Camarillo .

Castañeda Camarillo also ruled out that they have even found shell casings for the use of firearms evidence.
