So far, no arrests have been reported, and the amount stolen has not been specified. Unofficial versions indicate that the criminals went directly to the pharmacy area to steal controlled drugs, with no other material damage reported at the clinic. This incident adds to a series of robberies recorded in March at IMSS units in Puebla, including clinics 7 in San Bartolo and 13 in Bugambilias, which has raised alarms among authorities about the possible operation of a specialized criminal group in drug theft. To date, the IMSS has not issued an official statement on this new heist, while investigations continue to clarify the facts. This robbery adds to two others in Puebla; the first occurred in the early hours of March 10, where it was reported that five armed subjects stole controlled medication at IMSS Clinic No. 7, located in the Infonavit San Bartolo housing unit, in the capital. The other occurred at IMSS Clinic No. 13 in the Nardos and Bugambilias colony on March 11. A new assault on the facilities of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) occurred during the early morning of March 30, this time at Clinic 21 located in the Anzures colony, where criminals stole controlled drugs. According to preliminary reports, the robbery took place in the pharmacy area of the medical unit, located at the intersection of 31 Oriente and 14 Sur. Presumably, the perpetrators entered the building through an adjacent lot, which allowed them to access without being initially detected. After the robbery, there was a mobilization of elements from the Municipal Police and state corporations, who carried out the first procedures and initiated the corresponding investigations.
