A report on Monday of a strong odor of gasoline in a neighborhood in Ecatepec, México state, led authorities to a property where fuel has been stolen from a Pemex pipeline on an industrial level, Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodríguez said Thursday.
A second property in Ecatepec where the same pipeline had been tapped was subsequently located and the authorities believe there could be more in the same area.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday morning, Rodríguez said security forces had found 250 containers on the properties, each of which had the capacity to store 1,000 liters of fuel.
