With the goal of obtaining data that will help reduce crime rates in areas near the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) , the  National Association of Vehicle Tracking and Protection Companies (ANERPV) is seeking to sign an agreement with authorities of said infrastructure and of the surrounding states.

“The idea is to coordinate and sign an agreement, if authorized by the Ministry of National Defense (Defense), with AIFA to share intelligence. What does ANERPV have? It identifies incidents in the surrounding area, throughout the country. But we can identify incidents within the first perimeter, within the five, ten, or twenty-five kilometers (km) that surround AIFA and its two main roads, the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense and Mexico 85 and Mexico 85D,” said Luis Villatoro, president of ANERPV.

According to statistics shared by Villatoro, the State of Mexico accounts for approximately 25% to 30% of incidents nationwide , while the areas of Ecatepec, the Circuito Exterior Mexiquense, and Mexico 85 encompass around 60% of cases, which are related not only to cargo theft but also to vehicle theft.

In an interview, he stressed that they would be responsible for identifying the regions where these types of actions are occurring in order to find, in coordination with the National Guard , Defense and state authorities, the best intervention strategies.

He added that this coordination should also be carried out with the State of Mexico and Hidalgo , “to not only reduce the impact around the perimeter of the AIFA, but also those that may occur in neighboring states.”

Villatoro highlighted that AIFA has become an  important  logistics center at the Latin American and national level , “the merchandise that leaves there is incorporated into these two communication routes and they have not necessarily had incidents on these communication routes, the degree of risk itself is presented on those roads.”

“What we do is seek collaboration with the authorities and the best coordination, which is what would allow us to react as quickly as possible when we become aware of these events,” he asserted.

Similarly, he commented that they seek to extend this type of agreement with foreign trade participants, as well as with the Mexican Association of Intermodal Transport (AMTI) , the Mexican Association of Freight Forwarders (Amacarga)  or the National Association of Importers and Exporters of the Mexican Republic (ANIERM) , “in order to establish these links in each of the stages, from the point of view that security is transversal.”

El cargo ANERPV seeks coordination with authorities to strengthen security in the AIFA area apareció primero en T21.

The National Association of Vehicle Tracking and Protection Companies (ANERPV) presented certificates to 40 members of the General Directorate for Combating Vehicle and Transportation Theft (DGCRVYT) of the State of Mexico, initiating a series of efforts aimed at training and strengthening the sector .

“Training and professionalization are fundamental pillars to guarantee a more effective and timely response to the security challenges we face. This program is a clear example of our vision to continuously improve the sector,” said Luis Villatoro Martínez, president of ANERPV.

This action is part of ANERPV’s commitment to promote and consolidate alliances to improve road safety in the country.

In this sense, the certification program seeks to provide DGCRVYT elements with updated tools and knowledge that allow for more efficient action in the face of incidents related to vehicle theft and land transportation.

Villatoro stressed that ANERPV firmly believes that the professionalization of staff and authorities improves response protocols and also strengthens the trust and support of citizens.

He assured that as an association they will continue working to implement high-level training programs that promote excellence in vehicle protection.

In its latest monthly statistics on vehicle theft, the National Association of Vehicle Tracking and Protection Companies (ANERPV) reported that at the end of the eighth month of the year, 142 stolen units were recorded, which represented an increase of 2.8% compared to August of last year , which meant an increase of four units. In turn, the figure reached in the cited month increased 14.3% compared to July of the same year.

Puebla was the state with the highest incidence of crime with 46 stolen cargo vehicles, which represented 32.3% of the total nationwide. In second place was the State of Mexico with 27 robberies, equivalent to 19.0% of the total. Hidalgo was in third place with eight robberies, which represented 5.6% of the robberies in the eighth month of the year.

In the accumulated total for the second quarter of the year, 1,135 heavy vehicles were stolen, of which 26.4% were concentrated in Puebla , this means that the entity accumulated 300 crimes. It should be noted that since May 2024, the state leads the list as the most risky for cargo transportation.

In contrast, the State of Mexico has dropped a step on the list of entities with the highest incidence of crime, ranking second for the fourth consecutive month , with a total of 259 stolen vehicles. In turn, Hidalgo ranked third at the end of the second quarter of 2024 with 90 thefts of heavy vehicles.

It is worth noting that in his Sixth Government Report, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador noted that, between September 2023 and June 2024, “12,310 anti-assault operations and 3,254 inspections of passenger vehicles were carried out, as well as 21,701 security and protection operations,” the document reads.

López Obrador detailed in his report that 34,265 operations were carried out during the period mentioned, 17,546 more than during the previous year. Although the operations increased by 51.2% compared to those carried out in 2023, the impact to reverse the trend was not sufficient, since the theft of cargo vehicles continues to rise.
