A convoy loaded down with more than seven million rounds of ammunition has been hijacked while on route from Mexico to Texas.
While the trucks were found abandoned only a few miles from the ambush site on the southern side of the border, every piece of ammo is now missing.
Officials do not know who was behind the ambush on Wednesday, but in a country awash with cartel violence the list of suspects is seemingly limited to those involved with the narco networks.
According to Milenio, the hijacking took place in the violent state of Guanajuato.
As the convoy rolled through the town of Cabana del Rey early Wednesday morning, remote operators noticed the GPS signals of the transport trucks and their security escorts went dark.
Because of the nature of the convoy’s cargo, the Mexican Army immediately set out on an intercept course.
While the soldiers were not able to locate or engage the gunmen, they did find the trailers which originally held the massive cache of ammunition. The containers were discovered to be completely empty.
