A clandestine hydrocarbon intake was secured in the municipality of Degollado, in the Ciénega region of Jalisco, in addition, several hydrocarbon containers were seized that were allegedly extracted from that “milking.”

Members of the National Guard, in coordination with Petróleos Mexicanos personnel, were carrying out prevention and surveillance patrols to combat hydrocarbon theft, when they found the clandestine takeover in the vicinity of the Salamanca-Guadalajara polyduct, in the aforementioned municipality.

That irregular connection was connected to a high-pressure hose. Due to this, the elements carried out an inspection on the ground, 700 meters from the clandestine takeover, they located plastic containers loaded with hydrocarbons.

A deployment was made on the perimeter, so that Pemex specialists could safely disable the clandestine takeover and secure the containers with the fuel to avoid risks to the population.

The containers with the fuel, presumably obtained illegally, were placed at the disposal of the Federal Public Ministry Agency, of the Jalisco delegation of the Attorney General of the Republic.

It will be that instance that integrates the investigation folder for the crime of illegal extraction of fuel to find those responsible.
