Mexico City police secured a clandestine socket and several vats and claws to store gasoline in a warehouse located in the Anáhuac colony, mayor Miguel Hidalgo.
In a statement, the Ministry of Citizen Security reported that the clandestine takeover was found in Lago Garda street, after receiving a citizen’s complaint in the early hours of Tuesday.

The policemen found inside the cellar 11 chambers with a capacity of 20 liters filled with gasoline and another 50 voids, as well as three empty 3 thousand-liter vats and several gas intakes connected to a pipeline of Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex).
Elements of Pemex arrived at the site, who became aware and took over the guard.

The SSC explained that, because it is a federal crime, the case was reported to the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic, so a research folder has already been initiated.

Because of these facts, there are no detainees.
From 2015 to April 2019, Pemex recorded 166 pipeline explosions due to clandestine fuel outlets, and in that span 41 research folders were counted, which in turn resulted in just four stoppages.
