The BBC is reporting that the entire police force in the town of Rosarito has been stripped of its weapons due to concerns that the police force has been working with drug trafficking organizations.

The Mexican army has confiscated guns from the entire police force of the town of Rosarito, near the Mexican border with the US.
Mexican authorities suspect that the town’s police have been colluding with drug trafficking gangs.

Police will examine over 200 weapons to see if any were used in the killing of the town’s police chief earlier in the month.

The drug trade in Mexico is a $23 Billion market.
