Police in Mexico have come across a new weapon being used by the country's drug cartels - a custom built terminator model vehicle complete with gadgets designed to deter arrest.
The car was abandoned by the gang members after a shoot-out. The police and army sent to fight Mexico's drug cartels have seen most things - sophisticated rocket launchers, powerful assault rifles and gold-plated pistols. But in the northern state of Tamaulipas even they were shocked to come across a Jeep Grande Cherokee kitted out with its own anti-police gadgets. Inside was a smoke machine and a device to spray spikes onto the road behind - the purpose to make a getaway easier and stop the car from being followed. Mexico is plagued by drug-related gang violence
It is not known if the gadgets were ever used. The vehicle was abandoned after being rammed into a military truck. Those in the Jeep threw a hand grenade before making their escape.
