Pemex investigators on Friday detected a clandestine fuel-theft operation on Merida’s west side.
Personnel discovered a tapped fuel line while clearing ground with a backhoe in the El Porvenir neighborhood, alongside the Periferico.
Workers noticed a hose connected to the pipeline valve on Calle 140 at 53. They decided to dig, finding a huachicol outlet leading to a rented warehouse.
State and federal police, with the Mexican Army, were called to the scene to investigate.
