Agents from the State of Mexico's Security Secretariat recovered a stolen tractor-trailer through a coordinated operation on the Mexico-Pachuca highway. The vehicle was detected by C5 cameras, and three suspected individuals were arrested. This action is part of efforts that have reduced cargo thefts by 10-11% in recent months.
An operation carried out by the State of Mexico's Security Secretariat (SSEM) enabled the recovery of a tractor-trailer reported as stolen, detected through the state's Command, Control, Communications, Computing, and Quality Center (C5) cameras. The theft took place on March 27, 2025, while the vehicle was traveling on the Naucalpan-Ecatepec highway. Once identified, police officers quickly deployed on the Mexico-Pachuca highway, where they blocked the unit's path, secured the merchandise, and seized four signal inhibitors used to block tracking systems.
At the scene, Manuel “N”, aged 48; Carlos “N”, 37; and José “N”, 26, were arrested. Initial investigations link them to at least three recent robberies with a similar modus operandi. This arrest aims to dismantle a cell allegedly dedicated to violent cargo thefts.
According to official data, cargo thefts in the State of Mexico decreased by 10% between October and November 2025, as reported by Excelsior, while El Financiero states 11%. This decline is attributed to joint operations on highway corridors and the use of intelligence to anticipate criminal movements. The C5 Mexiquense plays a key role, operating with video surveillance, drones, emergency buttons, and analysis platforms, coordinating real-time responses with federal, state, and municipal authorities.
Under Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez's administration, the security strategy emphasizes coordination among all three levels of government, enabling faster responses and greater protection for motorists and transporters.
