Mexico Seizes Millions of Gallons of Stolen Fuel | JQJO

Mexican authorities seized approximately 4 million gallons of stolen fuel from two abandoned trains in Coahuila, a state bordering Texas. This follows the recent arrest of 32 individuals involved in a central Mexico fuel theft ring. Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch stated this was the largest such seizure during President Sheinbaum's term. The fuel's origin and destination remain unclear, but fuel theft from Pemex, often referred to as "huachicol," costs the company billions annually. Organized crime is implicated in the theft and illegal sale of fuel.
