MORELIA, Mexico — Gunmen blockaded a western Mexican city Thursday with cars and buses they stole from motorists and then torched.
The gunmen arrived at all five roads leading into Morelia and fired into the air to force drivers and passengers from their vehicles, said Jonathan Arrendondo, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office of Michoacan state, where the city is located.
Such blockades have become a common cartel tactic in Mexico’s raging drug war, coinciding with the arrest of several key La Familia leaders.
