The event happened yesterday and was described by this means: “The Secretary of Public Security of Sinaloa, Cristobal Castaneda Camarillo, reported that the crew members of a van threw metallic artifacts known as tire punches on the boulevard Enrique Sanchez Alonso in Culiacán. The Secretary of Security confirmed that a total of nine vehicles were damaged when driving along the boulevard where the ponchallantas were thrown. (THE DEBATE, 23/Jan/2023). This criminal action was carried out in the evening, practically in front of the building of the Sinaloa Attorney General’s Office. In addition, a highly trafficked area of the state capital.
These criminal actions are a direct attack on Sinaloan society. Nine private vehicles suffered damage. of those artifacts. What is the objective of these criminal actions? What hypothesis Two explanations can be considered: On the one hand, seeking to maintain a state of insecurity and alarm in culiacan after the events of January 5. Or, on the other hand, they are the antecedent of a broader action by the drug trafficking groups that live in sinaloa.
OF THEFT TO SOCIETY. In Mazatlan there is an alarming rise in car theft. Consider, dear reader, that each vehicle is a commodity that has a history in the families that acquired it. Many times deprivation to help improve the working, educational and leisure conditions of the members of that family with a car. Local authorities reported ten days ago: “According to the Secretary of Municipal Public Security in Mazatlán, Jaime Barrón, on “Black Thursday” they recorded the theft of 35 vehicles of different makes, models, and colors in a single day, a figure perhaps never before documented by the authority in a extraordinary event that will remain in the memory of the people who suffered the assault of criminals. According to the head of the Municipal Police, an average of four vehicles are stolen daily in the port, which places this city in second place in this crime, only below the state capital.” (THE DEBATE, 14/Jan/2023). In addition, last Monday the police authorities of Mazatlán gave a note that goes further: “Without a doubt, one of the issues that currently prevails in the port of Mazatlan It is the theft of vehicles, and proof of this is that, in the last 8 days, 15 units were stolen, including three motorcycles, reported the deputy director of the Municipal Traffic Police, Juan Sergio Camacho Torres. He regretted that this situation has been registered since the last week of December, but in the last 8 days, it increased just over 50%to which is normally logged (Light News, 23/Jan/2023).
One of the hypotheses put forward by the authorities is that the “robacarros took to the streets to violently strip or parked automotive units and recover the losses in the battle against the Mexican Army” in the clashes on Thursday, January 5 (THE DEBATE, 14/Jan/2023). If so, it would be a major challenge for drug trafficking to the Mexican State: we replenish ourselves at the expense of civil society. They are not robbing banks or stores to buy cars. No, they steal from citizens who work and save to buy their vehicles. It is an affront to the State in its work of providing public security to the inhabitants of sinaloa in general and Mazatlan in particular.
PARAGRAPHS: WHAT FOLLOWS. On the one hand, they throw strikeouts to damage citizen vehicles and cause traffic chaos. On the other, they steal cars from citizens, they don’t steal money to go buy cars. Two immediate effects: Provision of motor transport vehicles for criminal groups linked to drug trafficking, and continuity to reproduce a climate fear Y capsize in Sinaloa society. What’s next in Sinaloa, Culiacán, Mazatlán and the other Sinaloan cities? The Secretary of Public Security has shown certainty Y transparency to inform the public of the criminal acts. Surely in intelligence work the police forces have accurate information and not hypotheses or speculations such as those expressed here. The fact is that the only thing that can stop the barrage of violence and destabilization actions is the continuity of energetic action by the public security forces that protect sinaloa and his society. Because if not, what follows will be the ungovernability in Sinaloa. As the governor once mentioned Rocha Moya when he referred to the incorporation into his cabinet of the former mayor of Mazatlanit was a decision that he made with the objective of maintaining governability in that municipality.
