Drug gangs will have a harder time evading the law if they don't know where it's coming from.
Mexican soldiers dismantled a secret communication network spanning four states. They suspect the network was used by the Zetas drug cartel to communicate and locate law enforcement officials.
The network functioned in Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosí, four states in Mexico's northeastern corner. Officials suspect the network could have been used to locate law enforcement patrols in rural areas, thus allowing the cartel to evade them with ease.
Officials captured and dismantled 51 antennas, 43 repeaters, 73 generators, and other equipment such as radios and cellular phones.
A military spokesman said they also seized weapons and tactical equipment.
Hopefully, the military will have an easier time of catching cartel members now that the gangs can't see them coming.
