The National Guard responded to the distribution of toys by the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation in Mazamitla and distributed two thousand toys to children in the Guadalajara Metropolitan Zone, as well as in the interior of the state in the municipalities of Jocotepec, La Barca and Ocotlán.

The elements carried out the social outreach campaign on the occasion of Three Kings Day, giving away that amount of toys, as well as 1,500 bags of candy in the most vulnerable areas.

In patrol cars decorated with balloons, the officers went to neighborhoods in Guadalajara, Tlajomulco, Tlaquepaque and Zapopan, where in each municipality they delivered 300 toys and 250 bags of candy.

In the case of El Salto, Jocotepec, La Barca and Ocotlán, they delivered 250 toys and 200 bags of candy, to make the little ones happy, with whom they took pictures and socialized.

The officers were in Ocotlán, since at the end of November there was a confrontation between civilians and personnel of this corporation, in which an officer of this institution lost her arm, and blockades were unleashed.

For the first time, the corporation carried out this type of activity in the entity as part of the socialization and proximity work.

It was this Sunday when a video was disseminated in which alleged members of the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation gave toys to children in front of the Main Square and the Municipal Presidency of Mazamitla.
