The vehicle, a 1999 model Chevrolet Cavalier, was recovered.

Officers of the State Security Secretariat recovered a car that had been stolen on Wednesday, January 13, 2022 in Ixtlahuacán de los Membrillos. The officers, who were carrying out surveillance work in the area, arrested the man driving the car who was found to be in possession of prohibited substances.

State police officers were patrolling the downtown area of the municipality when a woman approached them to notify them that her 1999 Chevrolet Cavalier had been stolen the night before.

During their search, the officers spotted the vehicle at the intersection of Guerrero and Cuauhtémoc streets. Upon being detected, the man driving the car tried to run over the officers, so they fired shots at the tires of the car to apprehend him safely.
