Posts: 64932 gringos arrested North of Chicago Club
I was walking from the auto body shop to La Zona Sunday afternoon.
5 Policia Municipal pick up trucks and patrol cars blocked the street flashing beacons. They arrested 2 middle-aged gringos, hand cuffed, sitting on the truck rear gate being interrogated, looking very scared. Policias were all wearing tactical vests, armed with M-4 carbines and hand guns. Locals told me those 2 guys were involved in the drug trade.
The neighborhood North of Chicago Club is alleged to be a hub for drug trafficking and cartels' activities. The bros should not wander too far away from the bar block. Risks are high that bad shit might happen.

Posts: 2537Yes very good & complete article. If you are searched by the cops then you should immediately hold your money & cell phone in your hands. I have noticed recently that the police have not been searching pedestrians as much. The police seem to be stopping drivers more often.

Posts: 107Is this guide up to date and accurate?
https://wheretheroadforks.com/tijuan...paying-bribes/
It is very detailed but I did notice the article mentioned that Tijuana is the 5th largest city in Mexico. I believe Mexico is actually the 2nd largest city in Mexico. This leads me to believe this guide may be a few years old.

Posts: 2537$205 million is nothing. Awhile back a drug lords house was raided & they found $20 billion in a room. If these drug lords had any brains they would make their billion or million and leave the country to retire. Or go into a legitimate business.

Posts: 2537The big downside is that you will not necessarily see the judge immediately. I believe they can hold you in jail overnight.

Posts: 6493La Zona's ATMs skimming cards
Despite checking ATMs for fraud devices before each use, just about every time my wingmen and I used ATMs in HK, Cascada or out on La Zona's streets, our debit cards have been hacked. A few week later the cards would have mysterious cash withdrawals and purchases of pizzas, fast foods, merchandis, etc. A couple hundred dollars each, in various places in the US and Latin America. So they copy the cards and sold info to thieves. In most cases the banks detected fraud, alerted us and refunded our money. But if it happens too often banks may cancel your accounts.
Had no problems when cards were used in HSBC branch, Sorianna supermarket and a few convenient stores in Tijuana. I never had problems with ATMs in the US.
Don't know how the criminals did it but the ATMs in La Zona Norte must have been professionally rigged internally by the owners themselves to copy cards' info and record passwords. It's common knowledge Tijuana's red light district is controlled by the Sinaloa drug cartel. They can do whatever they want with the businesses there and nobody can touch them.
