**Stolen Vehicle Found During Raids in Ensenada**
In Ensenada, coordinated police raids on several scrapyards led to the discovery of a stolen vehicle, as confirmed by María Elena Andrade Ramírez, head of the State Attorney General’s Office. The operations targeted three businesses: “El Mostro” in the Popular 89 neighborhood, “El Pirulas” in Vista al Sol, and the “Las Perritas” recycling center in Maneadero. These efforts aim to deter crime and locate vehicles reported as stolen, explained Gracielo Cebreros Millán, Ensenada’s Regional Prosecutor.
The raids were based on thorough analysis and investigations conducted by the Vehicle Theft Investigation Unit. During one of these raids, a 2002 Honda Accord, reported stolen on July 31, 2023, was recovered. The teams involved are composed of state investigative agents specializing in identifying vehicles with altered identification to conceal their origin.
Cebreros Millán emphasized that such actions have increased as part of the office’s commitment to tackling vehicle theft crimes.
