Armed and gassy…

25 February 2009

I got a kick out of the statement that “agriculture is being eyed by criminal elements in [northern Sinaloa]”.   Well some crops, yeah.  Marijuana, poppies and… beans.

Agricultural business owners in the northwestern state of Sinaloa demanded the intervention of judicial officials on Monday after heavily armed bandits stole nearly 40 tons of beans, the third such heist in under two weeks.


The latest lift took place at a warehouse in the municipality of Guamúchil early Sunday morning.


El Universal reported that the bandits had overpowered two truck drivers and a night watchman, and loaded up two tractor trailers with more than 1,000 sacks of beans.
