Re: Another Carjacking Report

I did an "advanced search" on Google News for "Nayarit Compostela" articles only in the last week, and in any language (not just English). I found 4 good articles out of 15 total hits. One of the articles was the same one that started this thread.

Another was a follow-up saying that they had found 14 of the 20 stolen vehicles, and were still chasing suspects (just read the last 2 paragraphs: the others are about something else):

Here's a more-detailed article from another source. Mentions other carjackings in Nayarit, probably by the same big armed group:

And another one listing the types of vehicles recovered:

One way to translate these into English is to copy the article's URL (web address) into Google Translate (http://translate.google.com), select Spanish to English, then try to make out the somewhat spotty result. Those with Google Toolbar installed in their browsers can ask it to translate whatever page is showing in the browser.

So, more worries for those of us driving up&back! In this case, one article said the false roadblocks were more at night and during the week when there was less traffic (although they didn't mention how many had occured.) Once again, heavier traffic helps.

It's our turn in June. Fingers crossed...
