Another article says the weapons were AK-47s.
The articles that I can find are vague about whether the driver and passenger in the vehicle were "apprehended" or arrested. There is no report at this time that they have been charged with a crime.

Some unanswered questions:
- What crime, if any, was committed here?
It is perfectly legal for a person who is otherwise legally allowed to own firearms to drive around with one or 147 rifles. - If these weapons were intended to be smuggled into Mexico, why AK-47s bought in the U.S.?
Cheap AK-47s are available all over the world in places with far less law-enforcement oversight than the U.S. - Bayonets? Is someone going to pay G.I. Joe?
