A sickening video has emerged of a dog running down a street in Mexico with a decapitated human head in its mouth after human remains were left near a cash machine.

Terrified residents of Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas saw the animal fleeing a grisly crime scene with the dismembered head after it was left there late Wednesday night (October 26).

Police weren't able to establish cordon off the crime scene and investigate the killing before the stray dog made it's getaway.

In a video, which was posted on social media, the dog was seen heading down a dark street, holding the head by the neck in its jaws.

It is believed the animal was looking for a safe place to eat it before police had to wrestle the head away.

Officials have said that the head was left at the ATM with a sign warning that 'the next head is yours' on a cardboard placard.

The message was allegedly signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the most feared cartels in the world headed by El Mencho.

Mencho is one of Mexico's most wanted men and the US Drug Enforcement Administration is offering a $10m (£7.2m) reward for information leading to his capture.

He is believed to have stepped up attacks in retaliation for the extradition of his son, Rubén Oseguera González, to the United States.

González has been wanted by the U.S. since 2017 after a recent report on CJNG found the cartel operating in at least 35 U.S. states, including the territory of Puerto Rico.

Reports also say the message named an adversary belonging to the Operativo MZ cartel.

However, the victim has not yet been identified and the rest of his body has not been found.
