Automobilists and transport workers have raised serious security alerts regarding the presence of fake checkpoints operated by individuals posing as agents of the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) along the Cuacnopalan-Oaxaca highway, particularly in the vicinity of the San José Miahuatlán toll booth within Puebla state territory.
According to complaints and video evidence shared widely on social media platforms, the suspects use unmarked private vehicles or units equipped with strobe lights and fraudulent markings—frequently featuring both FGR logos and names of the defunct Federal Police—to force drivers to stop under the guise of official inspections. During these unauthorized stops, the individuals reportedly coerce motorists, demand money under threats, and rob passengers of personal belongings, tools, electronics, and merchandise brought from the United States.
The alarming modus operandi has prompted frequent users of the highway to demand that federal and state authorities urgently step up security patrols, investigate the checkpoints, and clarify whether any legitimate operations are authorized in the region. Drivers are advised to remain highly cautious, verify official credentials carefully, and record any suspicious interactions if confronted by unauthorized personnel on regional roadways.
