Mexican Police Suspended After Lending Patrol Car for Staged Lucha Libre Arrest

Ecatepec, Edomex – In a surprising incident that highlights the intersection of law enforcement and entertainment, three police officers from the municipality of Ecatepec have been suspended from their duties. The suspension follows an event at a Lucha Libre wrestling match where the officers provided their patrol car for a scene in which a wrestler was to be arrested for allegedly stealing a championship belt. The use of the police vehicle, which was part of a staged arrest as part of the show's storyline, was deemed inappropriate. "It was a mistake," said one source close to the investigation, requesting anonymity. "The officers involved acted without proper authorization, and their actions have consequences." The video of the incident, widely circulated on social media, shows the wrestler being apprehended and placed in the back of the patrol car. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to professional standards and the responsible use of official resources. While the event may have been intended as lighthearted entertainment, the outcome underscores the need for clear guidelines and accountability within law enforcement.
