Baja California Detains Three in Attacks on State Prosecutor’s Offices

The attorney general said they are suspected material perpetrators, signaling continuing searches by investigators.

Overview

  • Fiscal General María Elena Andrade Ramírez announced three arrests tied to the weekend strikes on FGE facilities in Tijuana and Ensenada and described the detainees as alleged material authors.
  • She declined to say whether the suspects participated in attacks in both cities and said investigations and searches will continue across the state.
  • Andrade Ramírez said one vehicle used in the crimes was stolen with violence in Rosarito and rejected a circulating claim that it belonged to former Rosarito mayor Javier Robles Aguirre.
  • In Tijuana the targeted offices were the Vehicle Theft unit and the Anti‑Kidnapping prosecutor’s office, while other FGE sites reported no damage; in Ensenada attackers threatened a guard, fired shots and burned three patrol vehicles.
  • Security around FGE installations remains tightened with chained entrances, plastic barriers blocking nearby streets and armed agents guarding the buildings, as municipal patrols continue their rounds; in a separate case, a 17‑year‑old’s gunfire against police in Tijuana triggered a large deployment.
