Culiacán, Sin.- As if the 49 video surveillance cameras destroyed on New Year’s Eve in Culiacán were not enough, this morning, Tuesday, January 2, there were 65 more cameras!
In a preliminary count by the authorities, 38 points or crossroads where surveillance equipment had been installed were damaged.
These 38 monitoring points represent a total of 65 more “eyes” that are left blind.
The aggression against the video cameras began at 00:54 hours on Tuesday, January 2.
Throughout the early hours of the morning, the armed group, which moved in several vehicles, drove around the city with total impunity looking for their “targets”. On social networks, fearful Culiacanenses asked what was going on as they listened to the gunfire for a long period of time.
Security authorities detected at least five vehicles of armed people as the ones responsible for the aggression to the government surveillance system. A gray Chevrolet Spark, another white Spark, a red Nissan March, a gray Jeep Cherokee and an RV4 were observed.
During this time no authorities intervened. There was no patrol of the Municipal Police, State Police, Mexican Army or National Guard to stop the armed men.
