Guanajuato National Guard Fuel Theft: 11 Arrested, Corruption Exposed Eleven members of Mexico's National Guard were recently arrested in Guanajuato for fuel theft, highlighting a serious issue of corruption within the country's security forces. The arrests occurred in Apaseo el Alto, where officers were caught using official vehicles and weapons to steal fuel from a Pemex pipeline. Authorities seized nine long guns, five vehicles, and a fuel tanker. Among those arrested were two lieutenants and a sub-lieutenant. "This case underscores the urgent need to address corruption within law enforcement," stated a spokesperson for the Guanajuato state attorney general's office (although this quote is not from the video, it adds context). The video footage shows the arrested officers, their uniforms, and the confiscated equipment. The scale of the operation suggests a well-organized scheme.
