Severed heads of three suspected Mexican cartel victims were found on the streets of popular tourist hotspot Cancun alongside death threats scrawled on a sheet.

A 22-year-old woman found the remains in an abandoned area in the city of Benito Juarez, in Cancun, as she was walking towards the bus station to go to work.

The woman found three heads along with a message written on a banner and alerted the police, according to official reports.

The warning message read, 'Antonio Villalobos, Julio Moreno, Nesguer Ignacio Vicencio Mendez, keep on selling the state to (CJNG-Jalisco New Generation Cartel) sons of b*****s, you are going to die!'

The message left by the three decapitated heads on the streets of Cancun told six civil servants they are 'going to die'

The threats were made against Julio Cesar Moreno Orendain, the Vice Prosecutor of the General Prosecution of the State in the northern area as well as Antonio Villalobos Carrillo, a Judicial State Advisor, and Sub-Secretary of Public Safety Nesguer Ignacio Vicencio Mendez.

Another three people were also mentioned in the message left in Leonardo Rodriguez Alcain Street, next to the neighborhood of Maya.

It is unclear who signed the message and forensic investigators have taken the heads to try to identify the victims.

Their identities have not been reported and it is unclear where their bodies are.

Local media state several cartels work in the area including the Golfo Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Los Rojos Cartel.
