Overview
- City risk management officials reported two tunnels about six meters deep at a property on Gobernador M. González Calderón in the Observatorio neighborhood, suspected to link to a Pemex pipeline.
- Pemex teams, the National Guard, Mexico City police and firefighters cordoned the area, and authorities said monitoring detected no explosive hazard for residents.
- Federal prosecutors opened an investigation into the suspected clandestine tap after neighbor complaints and recent reports of low gasoline pressure prompted inspections.
- Miguel Hidalgo mayor Mauricio Tabe said the excavation appeared professionally executed and urged inquiries into potential insider involvement.
- In a separate case in Ecatepec, Pemex’s Salvaguarda Estratégica detained a man carrying fuel and authorities seized containers, hoses and a clandestine connection, turning the site over to the FGR.
