Overview
- A March 12 search in Colonia Arenal, Azcapotzalco, led by Mexico City security authorities with federal support, resulted in two arrests.
- Officers secured 33 out-of-state public-transport vehicles, two trucks with artisanal armor, license plates reported stolen, tools and sets of keys.
- Specialists say the armor resembles improvised “monstruo” reinforcements associated with criminal groups rather than standard civilian protection.
- Initial inquiries indicate some modified units were being sent to northern states for later sale.
- Authorities are tracing the vehicles’ origins and potential business and financial ties, with the property sealed under police guard and investigative lines referencing Abraham Matuk.
