Coordinated Strikes Hit Baja California Prosecutor’s Offices, Vehicles Burned and Narcomanta Posted

Investigators are reviewing surveillance footage to track suspects in the coordinated arson attacks.

Overview

  • Two pre‑dawn attacks in Tijuana targeted FGE facilities in Ciudad Industrial and Playas, where several official vehicles were burned or vandalized without reports of injuries or arrests.
  • The incidents followed late‑Friday assaults in Ensenada, where armed men threatened a guard, set at least three Fiscalía vehicles ablaze, and hurled an incendiary device at a Ministerio Público site.
  • Authorities say security cameras captured the perpetrators, described as young men of about 23 years, and police have located vehicles believed to have been used in the crimes.
  • Municipal and state police, the State Citizen Security Force, AEI investigators, National Guard, Army, Navy, and firefighters mounted a broad response and reinforced protection at FGE sites.
  • A narcomanta was found in Mexicali threatening the local homicide chief and bearing the names La Chapiza and CJNG, intensifying concern over cartel intimidation of prosecutors.
