Mexican 'Rambo' vigilante on the move? Police stunned to discover 5 drug cartel members duct taped to a lamppost

Police uncertain of who turned the men in.

Mexican authorities were stunned to discover five members of a notorious drug cartel all wrapped up, waiting to be arrested.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - The men are suspects in the murder of a taxi driver earlier this week and were discovered to be tied to a lamppost with gaffer tape.

Witnesses described the men, who were gagged and blindfolded in Ciudad Cuauhtemoc, Chihuahua, held a sign indicating they were members of the New Juárez Cartel drugs gang. The message was taped to the body of one of the members.

After arresting the men, local police are investigating to determine whether the cartel members were left by vigilantes or abandoned by their, or a rival, cartel.

The New Juárez Cartel is based in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, a city bordering the United States, and is considered to be one of Mexico's most dangerous cities due to the drug gangs.

Despite their appearance, media police sources claim each of the men were discovered to be physically unharmed, but were shocked and showed signs of distress.

Though the city being known as extremely dangerous, in October, Juárez's mayor, Engrique Serrano, called for a boycott of the film "Sicario," a drug-related thriller that is partially set in Juárez. 

Serrano said, "It hurts the image of Juarenses. I call on (people) not to watch it...because it is something that speaks ill about the city."

Meanwhile, Juárez was named the "murder capital of the world."
