As part of a strategy to regain territorial control and weaken criminal surveillance in urban areas, state authorities reported this Sunday, June 29, that the Olmeca Interinstitutional Tactical Reaction Force (FIRT) deployed Operation “Blind Hawk” this weekend. This operation removed 93 video surveillance cameras illegally installed in public spaces.
The operation was carried out simultaneously and without incident in the municipalities of Centro, Huimanguillo, Cunduacán, and Comalcalco, where devices known as “parasitic cameras” were located, allegedly used by criminal groups to monitor the movements of authorities and facilitate their operations.
Police mobilization due to body found in Jalapa community
A body was found in a community in Jalapa, prompting an intense police mobilization.
According to authorities, the removal of these clandestine systems represents a direct blow to the operational capacity of criminal cells that leverage technology to evade or anticipate police actions.
The breakdown of camera removals by municipality is as follows:
Centro: 21 cameras
Huimanguillo: 6 cameras
Cunduacán: 27 cameras
Comalcalco: 39 cameras
The intervention was carried out at strategic points previously identified through intelligence work.
Members of the Secretariat of National Defense (Defense), the National Guard, the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection of Tabasco, as well as personnel from the State and Republic Attorney General’s Offices participated in the operation in a coordinated manner.
The FIRT reiterated its commitment to continue implementing decisive actions to guarantee safety and legality on public roads, thus reinforcing institutional efforts to restore peace to citizens.
