Cancun, Quintana Roo — Authorities discovered five human skulls during a pre-dawn raid Wednesday at a home in Cancun’s Region 95, prompting a large deployment of security forces and forensic specialists.
The raid, conducted under a search warrant at a property on block 106, led to the preliminary finding of the skulls, according to unofficial reports. Officers secured the area to allow investigators to process the scene.
The skeletal remains may belong to missing persons and are believed to be linked to a criminal cell operating in that part of the city, though officials have not confirmed this.
Forensic experts and anthropologists are analyzing the remains to determine their origin and age.
The Quintana Roo State Prosecutor’s Office has not issued an official statement on the results of the raid or confirmed the number of remains found or their possible connection to missing persons cases.
Investigations are ongoing, and authorities are expected to provide official information in the coming hours.
