In Mexico, several reports emerged from Aguascalientes. A group of approximately 45 people reported being defrauded by a company called Financiera Crevi Autos, which allegedly took down payments for vehicles and then ceased communication. Additionally, local merchants noted a decrease in robberies at grocery stores. In Tamaulipas, authorities recovered a stolen Volkswagen Jetta after the owner used GPS tracking to locate the vehicle.
