Overview
- INVEA, with support from the city’s Government Secretariat, SSC and the Auxilio Escolar program, closed a warehouse in Santa María Insurgentes on Oct. 31 to stop a mass Halloween gathering.
- Authorities said the site lacked permits and civil protection measures, so precautionary seals were applied to prevent the event from proceeding.
- No immediate sanctions, seizures or arrests were reported, with officials describing the action as preventive to avoid risky evacuations.
- Inspectors observed trailers unloading a generator, furniture and structural tubing, identified an Intershow vehicle and crew wearing Crew Lighting shirts, and found stored boxes of alcoholic beverages without an alcohol sales permit.
- The intervention forms part of a broader crackdown in Cuauhtémoc following recent mass evacuations at irregular venues, as officials urge parents and citizens to report clandestine events and supervise young people.
