Although at the end of 2023 and even in the first quarter of 2024 the State of Mexico was ranked as the entity with the highest number of robberies from motor transport, a change in the trend was anticipated as a result of the actions undertaken in the entity, and that could motivate Puebla to position itself as the state with the greatest problem.
At the close of the first half of the year and now in the third quarter results, Puebla remains with the highest incidence of crime in motor transport, with 27% of the national total, and even with an increase of eight percentage points compared to the same quarter of 2023, according to the quarterly report of Overhaul, a security and logistics intelligence firm.
Contrary to what was seen in Puebla, the State of Mexico contributed 19% of national participation at the end of 3Q24, which represents a contraction of nine points, since in the same period of 2023 it had reached 28 percent.
The rest of the top five entities with the highest number of robberies remained the same or increased slightly, as shown in the following graph.
By type of goods, Food and beverages remains the category most affected by crime, as observed in the Overhaul report , accounting for 31% of the total stolen products. The most affected categories are Construction & Industrial, Miscellaneous, Home & Garden, Auto & Parts and Pharmaceuticals.
The quarterly Overhaul report also highlights the temporal distribution, with the most affected hours being from 6 p.m. to midnight , and the second most affected being from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.
While the highest incidence is recorded when the units are in transit, 27% of the incidents were recorded when the units were stopped, although this category increased by five percentage points in the reference quarter, Overhaul warned.
