Authorities are investigating a gruesome discovery south of the border where 14 dismembered bodies were left with a message for a Zetas drug cartel leader.

It all happened on Thursday afternoon just outside the City Hall for Ciudad Mante, a town of 115,000 people located just 280 miles south of Brownsville.

Witnesses turned to the #Mante hashtag on Twitter to share information about what happened.

The witnesses reported that the 14 dismembered bodies were left in front of the 'Presidencia Municipal' or City Hall for Ciudad Mante.

According to witnesses, the bodies were left with a 'narcobanner' or message for a Zetas drug cartel leader.

Action 4 News spoke to the Tamaulipas Attorney General's Office (PGJE) about the incident.

PGJE officials said they did not any official information to release at this time.

Action 4 News will provide more information as it becomes available.
