A camera system used by a drug gang to monitor the work of Mexico's regional security services has been seized by police. This is at least 160 cameras, local media report.

Milenio TV, citing the police authorities, reported on Wednesday that reaching all the places where the criminals spied on the officers' actions was possible thanks to the support of the state gendarmerie by the federal police and the Mexican army.

In a statement on Wednesday, the San Luis Potosi state gendarmerie did not specify the number of cameras seized, showing only a dozen or so devices in the photo. Mexican television, citing sources in the police services, reported that there may be as many as several hundred of them in total.

160 cameras

“According to official statistics, a total of over 160 cameras were seized from the drug trade in the state of San Luis Potosi,” Milenio TV reported, adding that the trail of the monitoring system was discovered last year.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Mexican Gendarmerie said that a surveillance system supervised by the criminal group was used to observe the activities of security officers in the northern city of San Luis Potosi.

Investigators determined that the gang monitoring the work of police officers was probably a cell of one of the drug cartels from the city of San Luis Rio Colorado, bordering the US.
