Vehicle theft plummets 52% in Mexico State's Unified Command East; homicides down 35%

The State of Mexico has seen a significant decrease in crime, with vehicle theft falling by 52% and intentional homicides dropping by 35% in the 15 municipalities covered by the Unified Command East. Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez announced these figures during the 112th session of the Peace Table, emphasizing the coordinated work between state and federal governments.

The strategy, now in its 447th day of operation, is a joint effort with the administration led by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo. These crime reduction statistics align with improved public perception of security, as indicated by the most recent National Survey of Public Security in Urban Areas (ENSU) conducted by INEGI in the State of Mexico.

General Raúl Martínez González, coordinator of the Unified Command, presented the data, highlighting intelligence operations and targeted patrols as key actions. Governor Gómez Álvarez stated that all three levels of government are collaborating to ensure the safety of families in the Eastern Zone. The meeting included municipal presidents from 15 key municipalities, along with representatives from various federal and state security agencies.
