A heavily armed group was recorded during the afternoon of Tuesday, June 14, on the International Highway Mexico 15 on the border with the municipality of Salvador Alvarado.

In a video that began to circulate on social networks and was recorded from the cabin of a tractor-trailer, more than twenty men can be seen above and below on at least eight units, including pick-ups and dually trucks, carrying high-power weapons and tactical clothing.

The armed group was captured on the shoulder of Mexico 15 in front of the town of Las Brisas; something that stands out is that the units were painted black and white and only one was seen with military-type camouflage.

On the part of the corporations, no incident has been reported on that section of the federal highway after the alleged presence of armed civilians, who by the way, none of them had clothes that identified them as members of the Army or National Guard.

It is expected that in the next few hours, state security authorities will be able to provide information on this video, which has gone viral, since it recalls the type of strategies used during October 17 2019 in the so-called "Culiacanazo".

In addition, and taking as a reference what happened a few hours ago in San Cristóbal de las Casas, where alleged organized crime groups activated the tension after leading various confrontations.

The way these civil groups initially operated began by stationing themselves on highways, establishing a fence to maintain control; subsequently they detonated homemade bombs and some grenades.

It was reported that citizens who were in commercial stores remained barricaded for several hours, until the situation became calmer and they were able to leave the stores and make their way home.
