**Authorities Shut Down Unauthorized Party with Minors in Tijuana**
In a recent operation, the Tijuana Municipal Government, led by Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz, intervened in an illegal party hosted in the Otay Centenario district. The gathering involved approximately 50 underage individuals who were caught consuming alcohol. The event was uncovered by the Inspection and Verification Directorate, under the leadership of José Antonio Olivas Heredia, thanks to social media activity. When authorities visited the location on March 22, they confirmed that the participants could not prove they were of legal drinking age. Additionally, the party lacked the necessary municipal permits, thereby violating local regulations.
Due to the absence of permissions and the clandestine nature of the event that posed safety risks, the authorities promptly shut down the operation. An administrative report was filed against those responsible for organizing the event. The local government reiterated its commitment to safeguarding community safety and welfare, especially concerning minors. They have pledged to intensify efforts to identify and disrupt such illegal gatherings that pose dangers to attendees.
