Tulum, Quintana Roo: 450 Federal Forces Deployed To Stabilize Security

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


Video translation is as follows:

Female Newscaster: We’re also seeing for example, in Quintana Roo after the murder of two foreign tourists, that approximately 450 soldiers have arrived in Tulum. To take charge of the public security of that tourist paradise. That today is under siege by no more and no less than five criminal groups.

Where they have not been attacked and where, unlike the local authorities, it’s an every day occurrence. 

Female Reporter: 450 soldiers, sailors, and elements of the National Guard arrived this Wednesday in the municipality of Tulum, Quintana Roo to reinforce security.

This arrival takes place one week after the confrontation between criminal groups that left a balance of two murdered foreign tourists. And three more wounded. The events occurred on the night of Wednesday, October 20, at the La Malquerida establishment. Which is located on Calle Centauro.

The State Prosecutor's Office reconstructed the events. The place currently remains cordoned off and the street closed. While José ‘L’ the only suspect detained in this case tested positive for sodium rhodizonate. Which shows that he fired one of the firearms.

Violence in Tulum intensified in 2018. According to the Secretary of Public Security of Quintana Roo, five criminal organizations operate in Tulum. The Los Pelones Cartel, Los Bonfil, Jalisco New Generation Cartel, La Barredora, and the Los Zetas of the Vieja Escuela.

In the last three years, the number of investigative folders opened for intentional homicide increased 109 percent compared to a year earlier. And for 2020 there was an increase of 44.1 percent.

This was not the only crime that escalated. Burglary of a habitat, armed robbery against citizens, family violence, extortion, dispossession, and drug trafficking are on the rise.

At the beginning of October, hitmen murdered a 6-month-old baby and her father in Akumal. And days later a 16-year-old girl was injured in a neighboring community when assailants shot at the facade of her wooden house.

  1. When a foreigner get's hit high profile, they react like this, but when a Mexican citizen gets chopped up alive on video, they barely raise an eyebrow.

    2. Now why would they (Mexico) jeopardize revenue from foreign investors and tourists?it's their economic lifeline for many who depend on those assets.
      Without tourists Mexico would be in far worse of an economic shape.

    4. So, Justice for Mexican citizens in Mexico isn't happening because it's not lucrative enough for the government?

    5. For as fucked up as this may sound, chances are that mexican citizen that got chopped up by a cartel was either a rival or doing some bullshit like extorting local businesses, kidnapping or stealing from the wrong one... it's not to say innocent citizens don't get killed, sure they do, but that goes to say it can happen almost anywhere in underdeveloped countries.

  2. La Barredora in QR is the Elite group within Grupo Elite of CJNG. They sign off La Barredora. Rcq Barredora only operates by the border

  3. To have a murder folder/investigation opened in MX you must first pay the investigator to actually open said folder, but of course we know this.
    Also, every hotel and resort in tourist areas are ran by cartel or at very least accountants working at to launder money for said cartel.
    I'm guessing, but it would seem (?) whoever accidentally shot those two would face some penalties from capo.

  4. Apologies, I meant for the average citizen of MX, they must pay for any resemblance of an "investigation" into the death or levantone of loved one.

    3. 12 dollars buy a dozen boxes of pancakes, best buy a dozen tacos at a dollar each without Chile or sal, but where is the Forum?

  5. 450 soldiers were happy staying at the new barracks, playing cards, watching Novellas. Well beats the mononty, they have to shoot criminals, but only if they shoot first.

    1. Sad! Tulum is horrible! The ecco friendly hotels all run on diesel generators. The sewage goes right into cenotes or ocean.
      The whole area has changed. In 2013 Cancun had 31 murders.
      Last year over 500....
      Unreal
