Suspects arrested in Laredo for allegedly supplying cartel with firearms, ammo

Two men and a woman were recently arrested in Laredo in connection with an investigation into a gun-trafficking ring that supplied Cartel Del Noreste with high-powered firearms and ammo, authorities said.

Their investigation showed that Soto's group spent nearly $130,000 on more than 13,000 AR and AK-style ammunition magazines from an online gun supply store, CDNN Sports, an affidavit states.

"This investigation has identified another $150,000 spent acquiring over 225 'AR' and 'AK' style rifles, along with .50-caliber rifles, that are believed to have been smuggled through Laredo, Texas, into Mexico to arm a cartel," according to the affidavit.

Eric Holder was contacted and when asked to comment, only shook his head and mumbled "Amatures".
