Cargo Thieves with Signal Jammers Captured by National Guard on Highway in Coahuila

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


National Guard soldiers arrested three armed men in possession of several mobile signal jammers - often used in cargo and vehicle thefts - on a highway in Coahuila in early September. The men are suspected of being involved in several recent cargo thefts in the area.

After receiving a call reporting a vehicle previously seen at a prior violent cargo theft, National Guard soldiers arrived to the Libramiento Norte de La Laguna highway in Coahuila, where the soldiers spotted the reported vehicle, and ordered the occupants to step out for a search. They found a .32 caliber pistol with a small amount of ammunition, a fake pistol, two mobile signal jammers, and two intercoms.

All three men, originally from Durango state, were arrested and taken into custody, reported the National Guard press release from today. Authorities have blamed them for a spate of vehicle and cargo thefts in the Torreon region of Coahuila state, and have charged them with weapons possession and illegal use of a signal jammer.

Because of their use by criminal groups in Mexico, signal jammers have been banned for production and sale since 2020. A conviction for their use could carry a sentence of up to 15 years in prison.

Use of signal jammers by organized crime in Mexico

Signal jammers are electronic devices which emit radio signals on the same frequencies as mobile phones, thus "jamming" the frequency and disabling a phone from making or receiving calls. Due to their ability to disable a victims capacity to call for help, they are sometimes used by criminals in Mexico during attacks and robberies, according to a Borderland Beat investigation cargo on theft from 2021.

Several signal jammers were notably used by attackers during the 2021 assassination attempt on Mexico City police chief Omar Garcia Harfuch by the Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.

      Some years back I heard there was a family causing problems outside fiscalia in Durango. I was nearby so I got there fast. I saw it was an old couple that talked and dressed like real people from the ranchos and their daughter that was fucken HOT. I don't want to start describing her because it'll take much longer. From what I overheard them say and their FINE daughter I decided to risk my life. I had a short exchange with the dad and told him for all to get on the next bus and get to a specific location where I would meet them by myself asap. Anyone else but me: run. I was able to catch up with them. They had come from the US as they often did to visit their native land. They always went through Juárez except this was during the rare times Juárez was hotter than Laredo and the daughter was old enough to drive. She followed Google maps and came in through Piedras Negras. Monclava was behind them and they expected to reach Torreón in the next hour where they hit a checkpoint. The line, still in use, was that their vehicle was reported stolen. The "cops" told them to get out but the suegro stood his ground and told the daughter to drive off. They yelled at them that next checkpoint wasn't going to be as friendly. They got boxed in soon after, manhandled and left on the side of the road. Instead of returning home they got to Torreón and that's why I fell for them. The vehicle had OnStar which still isn't a deterrent for car thieves of certain states. They knew their vehicle had gone through Gómez Palacio. They were desuaded by Coahuila authorities and told to get on a bus to where they were headed or better yet back home. The old man told his daughter to fly back home and bought a bucket in Torreón to drive to Durango. The daughter protested and followed instead. They knew where their vehicle was. Turned out it was in a government building that functions sort of like a impound. They had spent two days going to every police/legal office they could think of. Getting sent around back and forth. This fiscalia was going to be their last stop since they were told to go back home everywhere else. It wasn't going to end well. They spent two days with me in which I wish I could say was because I was having a honeymoon but it was because the old man was furious for justice. I didn't let them out of my sight the whole time. I didn't sleep. I had to get them out of Durango. The bucket was forgotten and still parked near fiscalia so on the second evening I went for it. I can't describe how stubborn the old man was all the way to Obregón. I convinced him if he was to ever see his vehicle again it would be through me alone. An important detail I was leaving out was they had some ties to Nuevo Laredo but the old man had distanced his family from them. My plan was to ditch them in Obregón, get back home and pray that I wouldn't see them again...

      The mother somehow knew and outside the restaurant told me to forget about the vehicle, get them back home and stay with her daughter. I agreed and looked at the daughter. She gave me this look and I agreed again except now I meant it. We had a disagreement about crossing through Nuevo Laredo and I ditched them in Juárez from which I had another adventure getting back home. I did end up getting their vehicle to them and smashing the daughter for years. I'll finish this in the comments if it goes through. Anyway that stretch from Torreón and I guess as far as nearing Monclava has been hot for car thefts for decades. All those vehicles stay in Coahuila except if there may be issues with the owners and for whatever reason they're not killed. If both of these apply then the vehicle goes to Gómez Palacio. There it's put to use with no plates (often the original US plates are left on) and a special circulation permit that allows it free travel within the state of Durango except through specific federal (usually military) checkpoints at certain times. If the vehicle is put into government use, yes, then it's nationalized and registered. As far as I know there's no attempt to modify VINs and GPS technology doesn't matter. Some VIPs request specific models throughout the state. For awhile it's been Cadillacs and GMCs...

      For combat it's always pickup trucks. RAMs and Silverados being preferred but more recently TRXs, Rebels, and anything Duramax. I hate to admit it but even driving on the Durango side if you have the later models you're likely to get got if you're not locally related except you won't be left standing on the side of the road. But on the Coahuila side it's a business that funds that highly praised State Police force. I can't say much about this part but you better believe it. Always travel with travel insurance if you can't handle loosing your vehicle. That permit you get from the Consulado is worthless on that mentioned stretch of Coahuila. Durango stretch likely to get you through with an additional $1,000 pesos fee or in the absence of pesos $200-$300USD. Through Sinaloa the youngsters would ask you for a "coffee" (100-200 pesos, actually optional and a good idea) but surely that's going to change soon. But Coahuila, I believe this won't change in my lifetime. There's a special rule with GN that I'll try to explain later but it changes often.

    5. 1,000 pesos equals about 50 bucks.
      $200-300 dollars equal almost $6,000 pesos.
      If you're smart, you'll pay your road tax in pesos!💰

      For about a month we communicated very often. By the second month it was just with the daughter. I had no intention of going into a "government" garage and essentially stealing from bad hombres. I was just going along for the tiny possibility of fucking that tight ass. We became this sort of contentious, long distance couple. I quickly lost interest even though she started replying angrily with sexy pics. I been through that many times. Around the fifth month I was near Juárez and told her to come down with the spare keys. She did. I went in ready to eat my own bullet. She was that fine. It wasn't a setup and I popped that cherry. 1 day turned into 4. I ended up having to force her back home. And now I felt a sense of obligation to get their vehicle back. The relationship dynamic was now that of getting back home with our vehicle. I didn't like it...

      After about two months of stalking the vehicle I was sure I was going to get got when I went for it. It was being used like a party taxi. Soon after she sends me a screenshot of where it was. I knew who had it and what they were doing. I was drunk and saw my opportunity. As soon as I pulled out into the street there was a guy and girl stumbling towards it. I want to believe I heard the guy tell the girl something like it was his friend borrowing the vehicle surely to fuck somewhere more private. I hauled ass towards Mazatlán but panic kept changing my plans. I had to cross a border asap. I had to get out of Durango. Instinct led me towards Zacatecas. I kept going numb throughout my body and my biggest fear was getting caught alive. I didn't go under 95mph between tollbooths and when I refueled I handed the service people $2,500 and asked for $2,000 de la buena. Non said anything nor tried looking through the windows. I think I didn't even turn off the engine. I'll pause here and check for reactions. This went on for a few months and I don't want to type for myself. I'm happy enough reliving it twice already.

  7. How close is this reality so close to our border going to become our reality. It feels like it’s already here just a few currents below accepted political norms.
