The Attorney General's Office (FGR) carried out a search in Cuautlancingo, Puebla, where 35 thousand liters of hydrocarbons, five vehicles, and 25 dry boxes were found. The operation started after an anonymous complaint from a citizen who reported a strong smell of hydrocarbons in a property on Camino Real Mexico-Puebla, used for storing vehicles of a transportation company. Peritos from the PGR, with the support of the Federal Ministerial Police, the National Guard, the State Police, Pemex personnel, and Civil Protection, secured a stationary tank with 35 thousand liters of hydrocarbons, a dispensing pump connected to this tank, as well as five tractor-trailers, 25 dry boxes, a forklift, a compressor, a welding machine, two cylindrical tanks, computer equipment, and documentation. The property was secured, and efforts to collect evidence to clarify the events are ongoing. The FGR invites citizens to report in person or anonymously 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at the address in Puebla or through the indicated phone numbers.
