A large cache of assault rifles, guns, grenades, ammunition and fake uniforms are off the streets south of the border in Matamoros.
The Mexican Army reported seizing weapons, uniforms and police insignias at a home in the Colonia Solidaridad.
Soldiers allegedly spotted an armed man outside the building prompting an investigation.
The man fled out the backdoor but authorities found the following:
92 Assault rifles (mostly AK-47 and AR-15)
12 Handguns
151 Grenades
18 Fragmentation grenades
23 Gas grenades
5 Grenade launchers
8 Grenades for grenade launchers

580 rounds of ammunition
264 Artillery primers
Ammunition cartridges
66 Camouflage military uniforms
15 Black uniforms
8 Overalls with AFI insignias
5 Shirts with PFP insignias
The items remain in the custody of federal authorities.
Army officials believe the uniforms and insignias from the AFI and PFP are counterfeit.
