Overview

• The incident unfolded at an OXXO on the Autlán–Ciudad Guzmán road near kilometer three by the Instituto Tecnológico Nacional de México.
• After store staff told her the payment system was down and she couldn’t complete a bank deposit, the 27-year-old suspect threatened to burn the store and left.
• She returned hours later carrying a plastic bottle of what authorities say was gasoline, which she spread along the aisles before igniting.
• A young employee alerted Policía Estatal de Caminos officers who arrived and assisted store workers in extinguishing the flames within minutes.
• No injuries were reported and the woman was detained on the spot before being transferred to the Ministerio Público, where authorities will decide her legal fate.
