14 SSPC Employees Kidnapped by Criminal Group in Chiapas

"El Huaso" for Borderland Beat

Yesterday afternoon, 14 government public security employees were kidnapped by an armed group in Chiapas. Later, a video was released online showing the kidnapped held in a room, asking the governor of the state to accept the criminal groups' demands.

The kidnapped workers are administrative employees of the Secretaría de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana (SSPC). The kidnapping occurred yesterday afternoon around 4:00 p.m., when the SSPC workers were traveling on the Ocozocoautla-Tuxtla Gutiérrez highway towards Tuxtla Gutierrez after the work day.

According to Proceso around 40 employees were traveling on a SSPC bus when a convoy of white vehicles stopped them. After blocking the SSPC bus in, armed man forced them all the SSPC employees off the vehicle, taking 14 male employees with them. Chiapas Paralelo reported that the armed men only took the men and ordered the women to stay where they were.


Later the night of the kidnapping, video was released online which shows the 14 employees being held in a room. The video shows that they do not appear to be beaten or injured.

One of the captured men speaks likely from a script. He claims that they are safe and unharmed and tells the family members of the captured not to be worried . He then asks the governor of the state of Chiapas to intervene on their behalf. He presents the demands of the criminal group who demand the resignation of several high-ranking state security officials.


According to veteran Chiapas journalist Isain Mandujano, since June 2021, Chiapas has been the battle ground for a conflict between the authorities and to criminal groups, the Sinaloa Cartel and the Cartel  Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG).

  1. Only in Mexico can this happen. I wonder if the president even cares. Mexico should take a lesson on how San Salvador tackling crime.

    1. It happen in other countries also. Here in the states they just shoot it out with law enforcement. 17 officers killed in 2023 as May 8th. 129 officers died in the line of duty in 2021.

    3. It worked in El Salvador, now Honduras is trying it out. After it works there (and it will) maybe Mexico is next.

      Can you imagine that? A Mexico where the police and government are back in control

    8. City of Monterrey has more population than Salvador, the smallest country in Central America. That was a bad comparison for various factors.

      You are misstating the statistics. 61 police officers were feloniously slain with firearms in 2021. The rest were killed in accidents. This was also a high year for the number of police who died in the line of duty. Check the statistics for the last 10 years. In the average year between 40 and 60 police officers are slain in the line of duty each year in the U.S. This is far from the 400 to 600 slain each year in Mexico. Also, the U.S. has three times the population of Mexico.

    17. DETROIT, thanks for putting it into perspective. Statistics lie, only by looking at context and perspective does the truth begin to form🐙

    1. I personally don’t think the kidnapping and the attack on the police station are related to one another. The kidnapping happened in Ocozocoautla, which is located all the way to the west of Chiapas. The attack on the police station happened in Tapachula, which is all the way to Southeast of Chiapas. That’s like a total of 340 km, which would be like a 4 hour and 30 minute drive. I just feel like both events are too far away from one another to be connected, but I could be wrong.

    2. They aren't that far apart, highway takes you to coast and then south to tapachula, they are prob related.
