In a series of unprecedented incidents, a criminal organization has targeted members of the National Guard in two separate incidents.

The first incident occurred near the Canachi lagoon settlement in Culiacán, where the group intercepted a private vehicle carrying National Guard members. The members, who were traveling in civilian clothing, were forced to exit the vehicle and hand over the keys to a Nissan vehicle being used by the National Guard. The robbers made their escape, leaving the National Guard members stranded on the side of the toll road.

In a separate incident, an armed group carried out an attack in Tula, Hidalgo. The details of the attack, including the number of attackers and the motive, are not specified. What is known is that the attack resulted in the death of a man, and the attackers were heavily armed civilians.

Following these incidents, the National Guard and army launched an operation to find the armed groups and recover the vehicles. However, despite their efforts, they were unable to locate the groups responsible for the robbery in Culiacán and the attack in Tula.

It is not clear whether these incidents are related, but they serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing violence and lawlessness in Mexico. The National Guard, established in 2019 to combat crime and secure the country, has faced numerous challenges in its short existence.

In response to these incidents, the National Guard has vowed to redouble its efforts to protect its members and the public. The incidents also highlight the need for a comprehensive and effective strategy to address the root causes of crime and violence in Mexico.

As the investigation continues, more details about these incidents may come to light. For now, the focus remains on ensuring the safety and security of the people of Mexico.
