In late July 2026, Puebla’s historic centre experienced a gunfire chase that ended with the arrest of three suspects and the seizure of weapons and drugs. Local merchants reported no decline in safety or visitor numbers, describing the episode as isolated.

A few days later, a wave of armed robberies targeting bank customers and a jewelry store occurred across the city, injuring three people. Authorities linked the attacks to possible internal leaks of cash‑withdrawal information. In response, the state security office convened a meeting with banking security agencies and municipal police to review protocols, increase patrols around vulnerable sites, and consider a stronger police presence at banks.
