State of Mexico Reports 33% Drop in Homicides, 52% in Vehicle Theft Under Zona Oriente Plan

The figures come from an official review after nearly 400 days of the plan.

Overview

  • Governor Delfina Gómez reported the results at a Mesa de Paz evaluation in La Paz after nearly 400 days of the Zona Oriente security strategy.
  • The plan covers 15 municipalities in the eastern belt of the state, including Ecatepec, Nezahualcóyotl, Naucalpan, Tecámac, and Tlalnepantla.
  • Officials said the decline stems from joint work by municipal, state, and federal authorities using targeted operations and intelligence gathering.
  • Session 77 drew top security and justice leaders, including Horacio Duarte, Cristóbal Castañeda, José Luis Cervantes, and Maricela López.
  • The state presented these reductions as official results, which could guide future deployments in the region and ease daily risks for residents who rely on cars.
