Capital authorities secure vehicles and auto parts; find stolen vehicle from Ecatepec

Capital authorities have confiscated four vehicles and a significant quantity of auto parts in an operation targeting illicit activities. Among the seized vehicles was a car reported stolen in Ecatepec, State of Mexico. The operation, conducted by the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) in coordination with the Attorney General's Office of Mexico City, the Secretariat of the Navy, and the National Guard, also led to the discovery of stolen license plates.

The confiscated items included a black SUV with altered plates, a compact car without plates, another SUV, and a large truck known as a "torton." Additionally, authorities found license plates reported stolen from Ecatepec and Nezahualcóyotl. The SSC reported that the search also yielded four tires, a trunk lid, and numerous other auto parts from various vehicle types, along with tools, hydraulic jacks, gas tanks, car seats, tarps, and containers.

These findings were made at a property located on Camino de la Liga and Camino Sur in the Campestre neighborhood, following investigations and a judicial order to search the premises. All seized items and the property itself have been secured and handed over to the relevant public prosecutor's office, which will continue the investigation into the case.

The operation underscores ongoing efforts by Mexico City authorities to combat vehicle theft and the dismantling of illegal chop shops.
