REYNOSA — Mexican federal police arrested a suspected member of Los Zetas accused of weapons smuggling and illegally monitoring telephone conversations among government officials.

Rolando "El Roli" de los Santos Guerra, 31, was wanted by federal authorities on organized crime and weapons smuggling charges.

AND

Police arrested the Reynosa resident as he drove near the intersection of Rio Grande and Ocotlán streets. De los Santos was caught driving a white 2009 Porsche Cayenne SUV with no license plates and tinted windows.

Authorities said they found two hand grenades, an M16 machine gun, radio equipment, a fake driver's license and audio recordings inside the SUV. The recorders were presumably telephone conversations of federal, state and municipal authorities.

Hmm, "two hand grenades, an M16 machine gun" (never mind that an was used instead of a) but you figure he bought these at one of those "damned American gun shows"?
