Criminal acts and violent incidents that used to be literally inexistant in Yucatán, are unfortunately getting more and more common.

On Thursday April 25th, three individuals accused of breaking in and stealing in a private property of the city of Buctzotz, were caught in the act by agents of the Ministry of Public Security (SSP), as they were leaving the premises carrying various items.

The suspects started throwing stones at the police officers in an attempt to escape, and one of the individuals, Apolinar G. C., 30 years old, attacked the agents with a machete, so one of them had to use his weapon to defend himself against the imminent attack, shooting the agressor in the right leg.

The other two detainees are José David and Marcos Antonio G. C., 28 and 19 years old, respectively, brothers of Apolinar, all of whom reside in that same municipality.

In the incident, three state policemen were lacerated and bruised due to the attacks.

When detained, the thieves were carrying a two-burner stove, a jigsaw and other carpentry tools, that were they stole from the property located on Calle 12-B (between 7 and 9) of the aforementioned town.

The owner identified his belongings and stated that he will file a formal complaint before the General State Prosecutor’s Office (FGE) in order to legally proceed against these criminals.
