TIJUANA ? Hundreds of Mexican federal agents and preventive police arrived in Baja California's border cities this week to help combat the region's
crime and curb drug-related violence.
A total of 360 Federal Preventive Police were distributed evenly between Tijuana and Mexicali.
Baja California state officials said that the preventive police were sent at the request of Gov. Eugenio Elorduy Walther to help combat organized
crime.
In addition, about 70 agents from the Federal Agency of Investigations arrived in Tijuana. Several of those agents, interviewed as they sat in front
of the federal Attorney General's Office yesterday, said they were waiting for orders from their superiors in Mexico City.
