"HEARST" for Borderland Beat
On Monday, State Police were shot at by armed individuals of a criminal group inside a white SUV near the southern outskirts of Reynosa, Tamaulipas. A car chase ensued. Unknown individuals at more than seven different points created narco blockades to prevent police from catching the white SUV.
At roughly 7:30 am on May 31 2021, the emergency services line received multiple reports of gunshots from residents in the neighborhoods of Riveras del Carmen, Praderas de Elite, and Las Palmas in the city of Reynosa.
Right after these calls came in, State Police officers called up on radio that they had been shot at by armed men within an SUV located on the road between Vamos Tamaulipas and El Campanario. The officer were reportedly on a patrol, conducting surveillance in Las Palmas when they were shot. The SUV was described as a white Chevrolet Tahoe or Silverado type vehicle. La Jornada describes the men inside the vehicle as part of a "criminal cell".
State Police relayed the location of where the shots had taken place. Police patrol vehicles began pursuing the SUV and a chase ensued. Additional State Police vehicles were able to link up with the already pursuing police vehicles and provide support.
Unknown individuals began erecting road blockades in order to deter the police and prevent their passage. Large vehicles travelling on the highway 97 were forcibly commandeered by the unknown individuals. The large vehicles were driven into the highway 97 near the Reynosa Viaduct area and parked crossing lanes, blocking traffic.
Emergency services line then received multiple calls reporting that ponchollatas, or tire puncture devices similar to caltrops, were spotted at five different points along the highway.
In addition to the highway, road blockades were also being created on the main access roads to the Riveras de Carmen, Vamos Tamaulipas, Los Almendros and Ejido La Retama neighborhoods.
Transit Police, State Police and the Mexican Army (SEDENA) were called in to remove the objects on the road and highways of Reynosa. Security forces and law enforcement have reported no deaths, injuries or arrests in connection with this event as of the writing of this story.
Later, while securing and surveilling the area where the original shooting occurred, State Police discovered a white Chevrolet Silverado SUV abandoned next to the Rodhe canal in the Riveras del Carmen neighborhood. The abandoned vehicle was marked with bullet holes. Inside the SUV, officers found ammunition and spent cartridges. The vehicle was found to have a theft report so it was seized by police.

ReplyDeleteIs HEARST new to BB? Good stuff bro! Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteQuite new. And thank you!
Delete'bout how many miles on rhe muffler?
DeleteWhen toro was in Reynosa it was worse
ReplyDeleteOnly when they tried coming for him, other than that I felt safer.
DeleteNot alot of news coming out of reynosa lately till now.
ReplyDeleteEither news outlets are being censored by organized crime or the ones in charge have kept violence to a minimum.
Biggest news out of reynosa was the murder of el choco whom was the most powerful of the leaders of the metros faction of the reynosa cdg outside of el primito the plaza leader. I guess the other metros took the murder and shut it up knowing that el primito will kill the resr of the leaders and replace them with jaliscas like himself. The metros fucked themselves up by letting jaliscas take over. Outside of the betrayals withing the faction the metros have to stop incursions from the west by the cdn and from the east by the matamoros cdg.
DeleteChoco was meeting a Gallinas Unidas representative and that's why he as well as El Huarache were taken out. He was bought out of his sector and position with millions of dollars to where he could retire from the daily grind, live his life in comfort and start a legitimate business. If he wanted to move weight he could source it from those who bought him out and send it to his customers but you know that wasn't the plan, he was going to start fucking shit up and he had to go. The other comandantes are making money with the source of supply they now have and the business keeps on going, neta they probably don't need to be doing those lacra muerto de hambre movidas no longer since they're now raking in the cash without having to expose themselves. A calm plaza means the players are working and eating
DeleteSeems like Tamaulipas can use a Blackhawk with a minigun. Just like they wiped out los Beltranes they can sweep up los del infierno.

DeleteThis some hardcore gangster stuff
ReplyDeletegood article
ReplyDeleteone thing that caught my eye tho, read the first paragraph again, something tells me the "armed.. individuals on the southern outskirts"....were not the "unknown.. individuals" mentioned later...
kinda makes one have a hunch...that the armed individuals in the SUV were ya know kinda sorta maybe ok definitely "known" individuals....they dont throw up road blocks of this magnitude for just anybody...
I personally came to similar conclusion as you.
DeleteI just try to just stick to the bare knuckles truth in the story.
