Watch: Mexican Army Seizes 'Mad Max' Cartel Monster Truck in Daring Raid
Mexican Army seizes heavily armored 'Monster Truck' in Sinaloa raid. The modified pickup, found in tiny Portezuelo village, features rotating turret, armored windows, and extended cabin. Part of ongoing operations against cartel violence.

In the heart of Sinaloa, Mexico, where cartel activity has surged and violence gripped communities, Mexican military forces have found themselves in a relentless push to regain control. A recent military operation in the quiet community of Portezuelo, part of the municipality of Cosalá, uncovered a chilling sight: a heavily fortified "Monster Truck" outfitted with makeshift armor and a menacing turret, adding to an alarming trend of cartel ingenuity in evading and challenging law enforcement.
Early on Sunday, October 27, soldiers from the Mexican Army launched an extensive operation in Portezuelo, a sparsely populated village nestled in the rugged mountains south of Culiacán and north of San Ignacio. The community itself is home to only around 130 residents, an isolated place where violence rarely makes headlines but where cartel influence is nonetheless present.
