The signature 'Versagi' on the expensive rifle is believed to be its designer's The gun, estimated to be worth more than $50,000 (£30,000), is believed to belong to drug traffickers. Following a tip-off, police also found a number of weapons, along with other military equipment and passports. Two security guards were detained during the raid at a ranch 300km (186 miles) from the capital, Tegucigalpa. Honduran authorities said the gold-plated rifle had an engraving associated with the Malverde drug gang - which is allegedly connected to Mexico's Zetas cartel. "It's an exclusive design and a fine carving," said police chief Leonel Sauceda. More than 30 other weapons were found, including assault rifles, grenade launchers and grenades, night-vision kits, bayonets and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Police also found bullet-proof vests and 11 cars and two car-removal lorries. Honduras has the highest homicide rate in the world, according to a UN ranking, with nearly 92 killings per 100,000 habitants in 2011.
