A pair of grenades were among weapons seized by Mexican federal police from a group of men possibly linked to the Juárez drug cartel, officials said.

Police arrested five men after stopping three vehicles during street patrols Tuesday in Juárez. Inside one of the vehicles was a suitcase that contained two AK-47s, two 9mm handguns, two grenades, ammunition, 46 pounds of marijuana and 100 small packs of cocaine.

Police arrested Sergio David "El Chacho" Lopez Aguilar, 20; Joel "El Machorra" Herrera Longoria, 24; Jorge Luis "La Urraca" Salazar Fernandez, 42; Oscar Salazar Fernandez, 35, and Carlos Omar "El Ranis" Carrera Ibarra, 27.
