New Video Shows Another Robbery on Periférico Lateral Near Viaducto in Mexico City

Local alerts describe a recurring flat‑tire ruse that puts motorists at risk.

Overview

  • Dashboard footage recorded around 7:50 p.m. on Dec. 9 shows an assault on the Periférico lateral just past the Viaducto exit in Mexico City.
  • The video depicts two suspects on a motorcycle targeting a black vehicle in heavy traffic as one man runs to the driver’s door, opens it and takes items before regrouping to flee.
  • The clip circulated on X, including via @cuartodemillamx, following an earlier video of a November assault in the same area.
  • Journalist reports detail a tactic where assailants claim a driver’s tire is flat to induce a stop, a pattern the C4 has identified in Álvaro Obregón.
  • Accounts cited by local media describe coordinated motorcycle crews—reportedly without plates or helmets—with no arrests reported in this latest case.
