TIJUANA, Mexico — Prosecutors say the severed heads of six state police investigators have been found in the northern state of Durango.

State prosecutors' spokesman Ruben Lopez says the heads were found in the township of Cuencame - a region home to violent drug cartels.

Lopez said Wednesday the victims were members of the state investigative agency. He said they had been reported kidnapped since Tuesday.

There is no immediate information on the possible motive in the slayings.
