Federal Police officers arrested four men and two women wearing counterfeit uniforms from that corporation, which they used to raid freighters in the state of Veracruz and its limits with Puebla.

Due to complaints of robberies by individuals who identified themselves as federal police officers, staff from the Division of Regional Security of the Federal Police located the area where they were operating and established patrols.

In a statement the Commission of National Security (CNS) stated that the federal officers stopped a pickup with six people with uniforms of the corporation on board, who showed them counterfeit police credentials.
