💨 Abstract

Mexican authorities have seized over 3 million liters of hydrocarbons in Tabasco, southeast Mexico. The operation, involving multiple agencies, also confiscated 18 vehicles, three machinery units, and 4,000 containers. The site, located in Plátano y Cacao, was allegedly used for illegal hydrocarbon storage, posing risks to local residents. This seizure is part of ongoing efforts to combat the widespread issue of fuel theft in Mexico, known as "huachicol."
