Security operation at Puerto Vallarta police station linked to disappearances

State authorities in Jalisco placed the Puerto Vallarta police station under heavy guard as part of an ongoing investigation into missing‑person cases. The deployment includes personnel from the state prosecutor's office, state police and the navy, with access to the building restricted while investigators conduct searches inside. The operation follows a previous day’s raid in which a female police officer was detained on suspicion of involvement in forced disappearances. Officials have not disclosed the specific reasons for the latest security measures, but they confirm the actions are tied to the same missing‑persons case file. A detailed report is expected once the forensic work and interviews are completed.
