BIG Police Activity in Cantamar Tonight


Heading home from the U.S. errand running stuff today, we were just passing Puerto Nuevo at nine p.m., when at least thirty police cars passed us with lights, but no sirens - the convoy was made up of Rosarito police sedans, the pickup trucks that have the sparkle lights and Policia Federal black and whites.

They all congregated about 100 feet north of Ruben's Palm Grill, blockading the southbound traffic on the free road and everyone piled out with weapons drawn.

We waited about fifteen minutes, then they opened up a passageway on the east side and motioned the waiting vehicles through.

All we could see in our very brief glimpse of the focus of interest was a dark. nondescript van/SUV, all the doors opened and some civilians standing outside by the vehicle.

Does anybody know anything more?

Might this be it?
(from El Mexicano)

PLAYAS DE ROSARITO.- El comandante operativo de la Policía Municipal, Fernando Gómez Martínez y el agente José Alfredo Corona Correa, quedaron a disposición de la delegación de la PGR, luego de que se les escapó del interior de las instalaciones el jefe de escoltas del ex alcalde Jorge Hank Rhon, Jorge Vera Ayala, detenido en este municipio junto con tres de sus compañeros.

Así lo informó ayer en conferencia de prensa el secretario de Seguridad Pública Municipal, Jorge Eduardo Montero Álvarez, quien confirmó que a los guardaespaldas se les recogieron cuatro armas largas del calibre .223 y cuatro pistolas 9 milímetros.

Precisó que la detención de Vera Ayala y de los otros tres escoltas se derivó de una llamada telefónica que se recibió en el C-4, en la que se reportó la presencia de una camioneta con estrobos policíacos y sirena que se dirigía de norte a sur a exceso de velocidad.

Indicó que en el momento que se ubicó y se logró detener el vehículo, tres de los ocupantes se identificaron como agentes de la Policía Comercial de Tijuana, mientras que el jefe de ellos sacó una credencial de la policía del Estado de México.

Montero Álvarez, dijo que se comunicó con los mandos de la corporación policíaca tijuanense en donde le reportaron que el documento que mostraron los agentes solo les autorizaba la portación de armas con jurisdicción en Tijuana.

Por lo que respecta a Jorge Vera Ayala, subrayó que se identificó como agente de la policía del Estado de México y que el documento que también presentó lo autorizaba para portar armas en toda la república, por lo que surgieron las dudas.

Afirmó que se habló también con uno de los mandos de la II Zona Militar que recomendó que los cuatro escoltas fueran enviados a las instalaciones de la PGR, quienes no opusieron resistencia y se le encargó al comandante operativo Fernando Gómez Martínez que los trasladara con seis agentes a su mando.

Comentó que llegaron sin ningún contratiempo a Tijuana y ya adentro de la delegación, en el momento que se entregaban en calidad de presentados ante un agente del Ministerio Público Federal, Vera Ayala se les escapó sin que se dieran cuenta, lo que atribuyó a la falta de experiencia del que llevaba el mando.

Puntualizó que la situación jurídica del comandante operativo y del otro agente policiaco la determinará la PGR, mientras que las armas de los escoltas quedaron en resguardo de la autoridad competente.

It wasn't that. There was a gun battle between Rosarito police and bad guys yesterday evening. Two cops wounded.

This is how Google translated the article:
-----------------------------

PLAYAS DE ROSARITO .- The operational commander of the Municipal Police, Fernando Gomez Martinez and Crown Agent Jose Alfredo Correa, were offered to the delegation of the RMP, after they escaped the facility chief's bodyguards former Mayor Jorge Hank Rhon, Jorge Vera Ayala was arrested in this town along with three companions.

This was reported yesterday at a press conference the Municipal Public Security Minister, Jorge Eduardo Montero Alvarez, who confirmed that the bodyguards were collected from four .223 caliber rifles and four 9mm pistols.

He said that the arrest of Ayala Vera and the other three bodyguards was derived from a telephone call received at the C-4, which reported the presence of a police van with strobes and siren heading from north to south speeding.

He said at the time was located and stopped the vehicle, three of the occupants identified themselves as police officers in Tijuana Commercial, while the head of them pulled out a badge from the state police in Mexico.

Montero Alvarez, said he contacted the commanders of the police unit in Tijuana where he reported that the document showed the agents were authorized only the carrying of weapons with jurisdiction in Tijuana.

As regards Jorge Vera Ayala, who identified himself as stressed police officer of the State of Mexico and that the document also had authorized him to carry arms in the republic, as doubts arose.

He stated that also spoke with one of the commanders of the Second Military Zone that recommended that the four escorts were sent to the facilities of the PGR, who offered no resistance and was assigned to operational commander Fernando Gomez Martinez moved that the six officers under his command.

He commented that arrived without any mishap to Tijuana and already in the delegation, at the time were given as appearing before a Federal prosecutor, Vera Ayala escaped them without them realizing it, which he attributed to lack experience of the man in command.

He stated that the legal status of the operational commander and the other police officer shall be determined by the PGR, while the arms of the bodyguards were in receipt of competent authority.

Nothing I Can Safely Talk About


Sorry to be so cryptic, but as usual, it doesn't involve tourists or expats.

Jan....Are you privy to info of illicit activities that you're unable to discuss here?
Is your knowledge hearsay or do you really know?
If you can't speak of it, does it make you wonder why you alluded to it here?
I hate that. When somebody starts to say something, then says they can't talk about it.
Oh, well.....thanks anyway, Jan.

Fair Enough Question, Dennis


When I originally posted, I was an eyewitness to the event and I was seeking more information that was "out there" in a general more wide release, news report kind of way.

Since then, I have heard from "a friend of a friend" that there was no arrest made, just as Jesse predicted.

The problem is that, as has been noted here before, this board is read by a wide population, some friendly Nomads and some monitoring this board for info for their own purposes.

In good conscience, I can't post any more details because I can't be sure that it will not bring harm to others.

Ok, I'll take a stab:

Van full of cops (3 guys) from T.J. were speeding through Rosarito Beach, with there lights and sirens on.

When stopped by the local police in Rosarito to find out "who are those guys" They, the locals find these guys are not from here and did not like their badges. Seems their badges are from T.J. and they are now in Rosarito. The badges from T.J. are only good in T.J. to drive fast with their lights and sirens on and having enough firepower to do some serious damage.

They sent them to another place out of the Jurisdiction of both, PGR so they can be put on extrat duty for being really stupid then quietly released after review of the “facts”. The can always go back to the armory for more wepons.

Maybe they won’t go fast next time…but then it wouldn’t be the same with the lights and siren on.

Shades of Barney Fife.
