Tijuana - Authorities say police found four mutilated bodies and a threatening note in an abandoned car in the Mexican beach resort of Rosarito.
Baja California state police say the bodies were found on Wednesday in six plastic bags inside a car in the resort, near Tijuana. The note was on the windshield.
Police said in a statement that a fifth body and a threatening note was found hours later near the area where the dismembered bodies were left.
Baja California state police commander Rafel Cervantes said federal police would help patrol Rosarito, a town about 20km south of the California border.
Baja California has suffered a rising wave of homicides. Officials blame warring cells of the Arellano-Felix drug cartel.
