Mexico City. The Guerrero State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) reported last night that the Specialized Tourist Service Prosecutor’s Office provided assistance to visitors from the state of Morelos, who are in this port in the context of the 23rd edition of the Copa international Acapulco, which is played on soccer fields located between the towns of Pedregoso and San Isidro, next to the Acapulco-Zihuatanejo federal highway.
The above, indicated the FGE, during the road closure that occurred in the western area of Acapulco, last Wednesday afternoon, during which a dozen light and heavy vehicles were set on fire by unknown men.
Minors and adults belonging to this sports group from Morelos, who were traveling in a passenger bus, were forced to get off by armed men from the unit, to later set the car on fire. No injuries were reported.
The state prosecutor’s office indicated that “in the coordinated action, elements of the FGE, the Mexican Army, the Mexican Navy and the National Guard supported during the transfer and protection of the facilities of the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Tourist Attention.”
