NYTIMES/
Vehicles confiscated by the army and police are giving authorities insights into drug traffickers. Some 765 vehicles await disposition from the courts in a military base in Sinaloa. Some of the impounded vehicles have installed hidden compartments, trap doors and fake sidewalls to hide drugs, money and weapons. And, of course, many of the seized vehicles are heavily armored.
