In a search of a property located in the municipality of San Pedro Tlaquepaque, personnel from the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic secured a “pirate” gas station and huachicol.
The federal agency informed shortly before noon on Monday, that an anonymous complaint was received, informing that hydrocarbons were being stored in a property located at the intersection of Patria and Lázaro Cárdenas avenues.
For this reason, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) requested a search warrant, which was executed by the Federal Ministerial Police (PFM) of the Criminal Investigation Agency (AIC), with the support of specialized experts of the institution.
Two fuel pumps with two hoses and a metal tank with approximately 3,500 liters of hydrocarbons whose legal origin could not be proven and was therefore seized.
The property and the seized items were handed over to the ministerial agent, who will continue with the corresponding investigation for the crime of illegal storage of hydrocarbons and whatever else may result.
Since March, when one of the maneuvering yards of Mi Macro was secured, at least three premises have been secured in which there was illegal storage of hydrocarbons and fake gas stations.
