There are reports of roadblocks in Michoacan, Mexico after a military operation against a criminal group where two cartel ‘monsters’, improvised armoured vehicles, were seized. The criminal group then reportedly seized vehicles from the public and created a roadblock. In one video gunshots can be heard, and in another, a helicopter circles overhead. The roadblock was reportedly removed swiftly by Mexican authorities, though no one has been arrested in the incident.
