The video that has been circulating on social networks for a few hours reveals that the uniformed men were traveling aboard an SSC patrol, a unit in charge of Consuelo Cruz Galindo.
During the last months, municipal police officers have been linked to various scandals, however, neither the Mayor of Puebla, Eduardo Rivera Pérez, nor other authorities have ruled on the matter, nor is it known that there has been any sanction.
One of the most representative cases occurred on December 24, 2022, when four municipal police officers were arrested for a shooting that ended the life of a man due to the injuries caused to three more people in the Reforma Sur neighborhood of the capital of Puebla.
Also, this week it was announced that traffic police attached to the same SSC, imposed a fine of eight thousand pesos on a driver for parking on the sidewalk, when the penalty should have been 800 pesos.
