Insecurity is one of the most concerning problems in many areas of the country. Despite the authorities' efforts to combat it, criminals continue to terrorize the population. One of the most common methods to rob motorists is known as 'montachoques,' where citizens are tricked into stopping and then become victims of assaults.
Recently, a new form of robbery has emerged on the streets of Mexico City that has become popular on social media. A video that has gone viral shows the moment a driver stops his vehicle apparently to help an injured young man, but in reality, this was a trap for two motorcyclists to approach and commit the robbery.
Following the dissemination of this video, the Ministry of Citizen Security of Mexico City issued a statement confirming that investigations are underway to identify those responsible for the assault that occurred in the Polanco neighborhood, in the Miguel Hidalgo borough. The video has already garnered over half a million views, generating comments of outrage and concern among users.
Amid the growing concern for safety on the streets of Mexico City, cases like this reinforce the importance of being alert and taking precautions to avoid becoming victims of crime. The dissemination of these situations through social media also plays a crucial role in raising awareness among citizens about existing risks and in pressuring authorities to take effective measures against insecurity.
