What was supposed to be a brief stopover before arriving in Guadalajara to watch the match between the Mexican and South Korean national teams turned into a bitter experience for a South Korean couple who were robbed while at a shopping mall in Celaya.
The foreign visitors stopped at Plaza Parque Celaya for lunch before continuing their journey to the World Cup venue. However, upon returning to where they had parked their vehicle, they discovered it had been broken into.
The state government asserted that it has a sufficient legal framework to combat crimes such as the sale of adulterated beverages.
According to initial reports, the perpetrators stole various valuables, including passports, computer equipment, cash, and other personal belongings essential for their trip.
The case drew attention because the victims were passing through the city and had arrived in Mexico to support the South Korean national team during the 2026 World Cup.
After the report to the 911 emergency system, security forces deployed an operation to address the complaint and begin the corresponding investigations.
As part of the actions taken, authorities gathered information at the scene, conducted interviews, and coordinated efforts with various public safety agencies to try to locate clues that would allow them to identify those responsible.
The Government of Guanajuato presented the updated Risk Atlas for Journalists and Human Rights Defenders.
However, the initial investigations faced complications stemming from a lack of sufficient evidence and communication barriers caused by the language difference between the victims and the authorities.
Despite this, a formal complaint was filed, allowing for the opening of an investigation file to follow up on the case.
So far, the belongings reported as stolen have not been recovered, and authorities have not reported any arrests or conclusive progress regarding those responsible.
