Among them, the Director and Deputy Director of Public Security—who were carrying insignia and caps associated with a criminal group from Jalisco—may be linked to an attack on Civil Guard officers.
An operation by the Civil Guard resulted in the arrest of eight members of the Coeneo Municipal Police, including the force’s Director and Deputy Director of Public Security.
According to initial reports, the officers were conducting patrols in official vehicles and wearing their uniforms when they were intercepted by authorities.
Preliminary information indicates that the detainees were wearing caps bearing insignia allegedly linked to a criminal group originating in Jalisco; this prompted their detention and the initiation of an investigation.
The eight officers have been placed at the disposal of the competent authorities to determine their potential involvement in illicit activities.
The case has sparked concern and outrage among the public, as it involves commanders and active-duty members of a municipal police force, reigniting the debate regarding the potential infiltration of public security institutions by organized crime.
To date, authorities have not issued a detailed report on the incident, and investigations are ongoing.
