# FESC Discovers House with ‘Los Rusos’ Arsenal in Southern Mexicali Valley
**By: Eduardo Villa | September 6, 2024**
The State Citizen Security Force (FESC) made a significant breakthrough against organized crime by apprehending a man with four high-powered firearms and unearthing a house suspected of storing an arsenal in the Valle de Mexicali region.
FESC agents have been conducting operations in the rural areas of the state capital for several days. Recently, they were involved in a confrontation following an ambush allegedly carried out by members of the ‘Los Rusos’ criminal organization.
Two officers were injured in the incident, including the head of intelligence, AgustÃn Jaime Brambila, who is now under protection at a hospital in Mexicali.
On Friday, September 6th, state agents intercepted a suspect carrying four different types of long guns, who is believed to be connected to the attack on the police command.
Details on the raid remain limited, but sources confirmed that the operation took place near Ejido Oviedo Mota Reacomodo, not far from the site of the ambush on September 4th.
Through intelligence work, agents located another residence between Carranza and Coahuila streets. This location is presumed to hold a significant arsenal, potentially including high-caliber weapons such as Barrett rifles.
