Saltillo security systems targeted by hackers in residential robberies

Criminal groups in Saltillo, Mexico, are reportedly using technological methods to bypass security in private residential developments. Residents in northern Saltillo have reported daytime home robberies where criminals gain access to gated communities by hacking security systems.

Miguel Ángel Garza Félix, head of the Saltillo Security Commissioner's Office, confirmed that authorities have identified the cloning of vehicle tags as a recurring method used in recent thefts and attempted robberies. This trend highlights an increasing sophistication in criminal tactics, where electronic devices are used to manipulate security barriers and access control systems.
