Overview
- Federal agents, acting from intelligence and anonymous tips, raided four sites on Tuesday and seized roughly 996,300 to 1,096,300 liters of petrol‑related liquids held at properties in San Luis Potosí, Hidalgo and Morelos.
- The largest site, a warehouse in San Luis Potosí city, held eight tanks of about 80,000 liters each and an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 liters plus industrial machinery, containers and documentation.
- In Tizayuca authorities removed 456,300 liters described as a possible hydrocarbon or chemical, and in Cuautla officials secured the property and took six ministerial samples after residents reported constant tanker traffic and strong fuel odors.
- The operations were led by the FGR’s organized‑crime prosecutor (FEMDO) with the SSPC, Guardia Nacional and Pemex Logística under the national anti‑fuel‑theft strategy, following earlier large seizures such as the July 24 Reynosa operation.
- Investigations remain open because some liquids still require forensic confirmation, the equipment used can be legally bought and assembled, and no arrests were reported, complicating efforts to trace criminal networks and hold operators to account.
