Police have recovered seven bodies from two mines in central Mexico that authorities say were being used as a clandestine graveyard by drug gangs.
Hidalgo state prosecutor Carmen Archundia says investigators were led to the mine by a group of suspects, including three police officers, arrested last week.
Archundia said Monday the bodies were recovered over the weekend from a mine in the city of Pachuca, the capital of Hidalgo state, and from a mine in the nearby town of Mineral del Chico.
In July, authorities recovered 55 bodies from an abandoned mine near Taxco, a colonial-era city popular with international tourists.
