In the videos shared, a new and alarming modus operandi used to steal cell phones in the Mexibús can be observed. Apparently, everything goes on normally while passengers, both men and women, are sitting using their cell phones near the open windows. However, when the vehicle reaches a station and the passengers get off, that is when the criminals take the opportunity to act.
The images show how, as the doors of the Mexibús close and it moves slowly, thieves reach through the open windows to snatch the cell phones directly from the hands of the passengers. This happens so quickly that the victims are left defenseless and the criminals manage to escape with the loot before they can react. This express robbery tactic has become increasingly frequent in certain areas of Edomex.
One of the most concerning aspects is that the criminals seem to operate mainly in the section of the Mexibús designated for women, located at the front of the vehicle. Although it cannot be ruled out that these robberies could also occur in other areas, which increases overall concern among the authorities and public transport users.
In light of this situation, passengers are urged to be alert and avoid using their cell phones near the windows when the Mexibús is stopped or moving. It is essential to report any suspicious activity and cooperate with investigations to prevent these thefts. Both authorities and the operating company of the Mexibús are working on preventive measures to address this issue, but the responsibility also falls on passengers to take additional precautions.
Several videos captured by the security cameras of the Mexibús have circulated on social media, raising awareness about the importance of maintaining personal security and staying alert to avoid becoming victims of this new type of theft.
