Officials in Mexico have destroyed 50 “monster trucks” used by cartels in gun battles.
These vehicles, also referred to as “Frankenstein trucks” due to their modifications—such as adding gun turrets and armored plates—were seized by security forces.
The trucks belonged to various criminal organizations, including The Scorpions, a group of hitmen working for the Gulf Cartel.
Footage released by Mexico’s federal prosecutor’s office showed a crane toppling the heavy trucks before they were crushed.
