[Warning] Regarding the occurrence of fraudulent demands for money or valuables from individuals believed to be police officers
July 24, 2024, 1:21 a.m.
1. Overview of the incident
On Saturday, July 20, 2024, at around 8:00 p.m., three Japanese male residents in the area finished fishing at Ensenada Fishing Port and were driving along a mountain road to avoid traffic jams in the city toward the Tijuana area when they were stopped and questioned by two men who appeared to be police officers, who told them, "You are carrying fish that you should not catch," and demanded money. Although they initially refused to be questioned, they were handcuffed and put into a patrol car, so they had no choice but to follow instructions, and after the dashcam installed in the vehicle was confiscated, they paid about 700 dollars.
2. Important Notices
(1) In Mexico, there have been cases in the past of people suspected to be corrupt police officers making illegal demands for money or other items. Even if the demand comes from a police officer, be sure to check the identity (name, etc.) of the officer handling the request and inquire at the police facility, if necessary.
(2) Even in situations where traffic congestion is occurring, the risk of becoming a victim is higher at times (places) when there are fewer people around. When traveling on roads that avoid urban areas at night, there is a higher possibility of becoming involved in various crimes other than those in this case, so please try to choose routes that go through urban areas as much as possible.
