Laredo, Texas (Webb County) – A vehicle pursuit led Sheriff’s Office deputies to the 3400 block of Flores Avenue for possible illegal activity.
Upon arriving at the residence, they located a large amount of ammunition and drugs. Specifically, they seized 4,300 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition with an estimated value $17,200, 5,000 rounds of 5.56 caliber ammunition estimated at $3,225, and 28 pounds of marijuana estimated at $14,000.
Jose Alonzo Saldaña Alaniz, 36, is being held at the Webb County Jail on federal charges of alien in possession of ammunition.
“It is clear that this ammunition was headed south, possibly into Mexico, as a result of organized crime. This is why it is very important to always stay vigilant of our surroundings and our neighborhoods,” said Sheriff Martin Cuellar.
“Please report any suspicious activity by calling 956-415-BUST (2878). You may be eligible for a cash reward.”
