Caborca, Sonora.- A wake of terror and destruction was generated at dawn this Friday an armed commando on the federal highway - Caborca-Sonoyta section, where they set fire to two restaurants (known as hookahs), stole two vehicles to set them on fire on the same street and then damaged at least three dozen vehicles with “poncha-llantas”, [pointed spiked devices thrown on the street to puncture tires].

Initially, they raided the restaurants located at kilometers 200 and 207, around one in the morning, beat the workers and seized two vehicles, and then set the businesses on fire.

Before leaving, they stripped workers and customers of some belongings and headed south, until they reached kilometer 165, where they blocked the road and burned the two stolen units.

But during that journey, they threw poncha-llantas,  which caused around 30 vehicles, including cargo units,  left with damaged.

There was an intense mobilization of municipal police and government forces, as well as military forces and the Caminos Division of the National Guard, but the armed group was not located.
