Sheinbaum says cargo theft has shifted to state highways
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says cargo theft has shifted to state highways after security operations reduced it on some federal routes.
The federal government’s Robo Cero strategy targets theft from freight transport.
Sheinbaum said theft has declined on some federal highway stretches where the strategy was introduced.
But she said robberies are now happening on roads managed by state governments.
She called for closer coordination between state authorities and the National Guard to improve surveillance and protect truck drivers and their goods.
The government also uses the Escalón operation and the Cero Robos program to try to reduce these attacks.
Authorities are expected to strengthen joint security efforts, but no timeline was given.
