SAN JUAN - What started as a traffic stop Monday ended in a major ammunition seizure in San Juan.

San Juan police tried pulling over a pickup for a broken taillight. Moments later, officers found hundreds of rounds of ammunition. There were 1,700 rounds of 50-caliber ammunition. The ammo is belt-fed, which means it’s meant to be shot from turret-mounted weapons, much like the heavy artillery mounted on top of military tanks or hummers.

San Juan police say they believe the ammo was headed to Mexico. Now they're working to find out from where it came. They are working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and trying to talk to the two Mexican nationals that were in possession of the ammunition.
