Federal and state authorities have deployed a joint operation in Sinaloa, specifically in Culiacán, to combat organized crime. During this intervention, a total of 388 surveillance cameras that were installed clandestinely in urban spaces have been removed. According to the authorities, none of these cameras were connected or related to the C-4, the state security control and monitoring center.
The operation, carried out by the Mexican Army, the National Guard, and the State Police, has covered various neighborhoods of the city, such as Centro, Almada, Antonio Rosales, 5 de Mayo, Vallado, Guadalupe, Infonavit Cañadas, Colinas de San Miguel, Montebello, and Rafael Buelna. In recent days, 72 cameras have been deactivated, as well as four Access Point devices and four microwave link antennas, using ladders to access them.
As part of this operation, 14 wireless PTZ cameras (with panoramic, tilt, and zoom capacity), 27 wireless PTZ cameras, 42 fixed wireless cameras, and six Access Point devices for internet transmission have been identified and removed. This action aims to ensure that the surveillance equipment is not being used for illicit purposes and is part of the federal government's strategies to dismantle organized crime networks in the region.
