Mexican musical group Los Ángeles Azules reported that their equipment transport truck was robbed at a fake checkpoint while returning from a concert in Tabasco, Mexico. The incident took place on Friday, May 9, at kilometer 61 of the México–Puebla highway, heading toward Mexico City (CDMX).
According to the statement shared on their official platforms, the truck was carrying the band’s musical instruments and audio equipment. Then, it was intercepted by what appeared to be an official roadblock—only to later be confirmed as a false one. The group described the act as an assault and stated that they are currently in the process of filing a formal complaint with the authorities.
“We are in the process of presenting the corresponding report to the competent authorities,” the group said. “We make a public call to both state and federal authorities to take urgent action and guarantee safe passage on our highways.”
