Another round of ‘narco’ cell phone and radio towers have been taken down south of the border in two Tamaulipas cities.

The Mexican Army is reported that the seizures were made late last week.

Soldiers in patrol in Reynosa and Hidalgo, Tamaulipas took down nine pirate radio and cell phone towers.

Investigators believe the towers were being used as a communications network by members of an organized criminal group.

Soldiers seized a total of nine antennas, six voltage regulators, six receptors, five duplicators, two car radios and a portable radio.

No arrests were made but the case remains under investigation.

Authorities had seized 21 antennas and other communications equipment in Reynosa last month.
