radiolaprimerisima.com/ (machine translated) Mexico City currently has Mexico’s second highest rate of robberies against pedestrians (Robo a transeúntes), a crime that increased 38.2 percent in the first four months of this year.

In this period also increased the culpable homicide in 22.4 percent, the robbery with violence (10,9) and the robbery to houses (7.5 percent), among other crimes in frank increase.

This was reported by the National Citizen Observatory, which, however, reported a decrease in extortion, vehicle theft and rape.
