Cancun, Q.R. — A plane passenger caught with an unregistered gun inside Cancun International has been sentenced. The Attorney General of the Republic (FGR) said they obtained a conviction against a person for carrying an unlicensed firearm.
The FGR, through its Specialized Regional Control Prosecutor’s Office in the state of Quintana Roo, obtained a conviction against Humberto “M” for the crime of carrying a firearm without a license.
According to the FGR (Fiscalía General de la República), members of the National Guard detained a person at the FBO (Fixed Base Operator) Terminal of the Cancun International Airport where private general aircraft land.
“When entering his suitcase in the X-ray machine, a firearm and two magazines were detected in his luggage, so he was placed at the disposal of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office in the state,” they said.
