"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
A new video from the Mexican underworld has just surfaced online. For this broadcast an armed criminal cell has successfully carjacked an unsuspecting family.
The events took place on a stretch of road known as the Cuesta de Mamulique on the Monterrey-Laredo highway.
A Good Samaritan truck driver passing through the area came upon the post highway robbery and stopped to offer help.
The folks made up of men and women walk towards the trucker visibly shocked by the ordeal of having lost their mode of transportation.
Video translation is as follows:
Trucker: Hey. How are you guys doing, are you ok?
Young male: Thank God we’re ok.
Trucker: Oh gosh. Thank God you’re all ok.
Young male: Let’s walk over here next to this tractor trailer everyone.
This is happening on the federal / toll highway. Which means the situation is serious since this highway is the “safer” way to get to Monterrey from Laredo. Wtf. No one 50+ ppl have gone missing in this area this year.
ReplyDeleteCar jackings have significantly skyrocketed in that area. Mexico's government should implement more security for its citizens safety.
Delete10:27 the former Policia Federal de Caminos would take care of business, but States got more autonomy and money to support it with public security operations in exchange for keeping quiet about federal government abuses of power, robberies to the treasury, frauds and the estafa maestra, samenwith teachers union, IMSS, ISSSTE, CONASUPO,
DeleteSOOO, blame the state of Nuevo Lion public security office for their chingaderas and pendejadas
Drove through there last month …

ReplyDeleteOff topic, do insurance companies exists in Mexico ? I guess they won't as there will be many claims to he honored considering high robbery and vehicle theft. Sad to see them abandoned in high way, even a commoner will think twice before slowing down vehicles to offer help fearing for traps to rob.

It’s tricky. Insurance in Mexico does cover auto theft if you pay for that feature, but it doesn’t always cover car hijackings. Car hijackings, when in the context of an armed conflict, fall under a different category not covered by most insurance companies. I have Mexican automobile insurance that covers anti-theft but not car hijacks. It’s not even an option.
DeleteThanks for the reply MX, love your work. That's very upsetting to hear considering armed cells coerce people to abandon their vehicles. People will be left without any compensation. They can have that option, but still some criminals will use it to gain insurance claim.

That’s sad…. I drove through there last week… GN got me for speeding and gave him 40 dollars .. POS system
ReplyDeleteIt'll continue in part because people like you offer bribes.
DeleteSame thing in USA... speeding tickets are expensive. Now are you saying you weren't speeding? 40$ is nothing if you were.
Delete@1:52 sometimes you dont have a choice
DeleteTickets in Mexico are 6000 pesos dumb ass . Plus they threatened to take your US license
DeleteSo I’m good with giving them 40 bucks
3:27 and?
DeleteSTFU and stop complaining.

ReplyDeleteIt's happening in Tamps. Be careful drive old small cars. Amlo says mexico is at peace, so this is not happening. And believe in tooth fairy 馃♀️
ReplyDeleteWhy do people continue to think that this will never happen to them when travelling through Mexico? Just don't go!!
ReplyDeleteMillions of people live in Mexico and cannot do Anything about that bro. By the looks of it, the victims here are Mexicans. I’m sure they think this could happen to them but there’s no much they can do… 馃う馃徎♂️
