The Public Security Secretariat in Puebla has managed to detect and remove 19 surveillance cameras that were illegally installed in the capital and were being used by criminal groups. Rear Admiral Francisco Sánchez González reported that this achievement was the result of intelligence work that lasted approximately 30 days, during which these cameras were identified.
Most of these cameras were found located outside commercial premises. After approaching the owners, they disowned the installation of the cameras that were being used by criminals to control the area. Sánchez González commented, "They signed for us; we created a format where they disassociated themselves from all the cameras, and this was the case with all 19 that we located. I want to say that these instruments are often used by criminal groups, obviously to maintain control of the area."
This action has been crucial in denying tools to criminal groups operating in the city center. The operation involved Sedena, the Navy Secretariat, the National Guard, and the Municipal Police. Sánchez González emphasized the importance of continuing to work in the metropolitan area, where, according to him, these criminal groups use these tools to obtain privileged information about security forces.
It has been announced that similar actions will continue to be carried out in other locations, and next week the results of an operation in a municipality with high crime rates will be made public. All of this is the result of coordination between the three levels of government and the joint work of various security institutions.
