Six Mexican police officers were murdered on Friday in the central state of Puebla which is ravaged by gangs active in drug trafficking, fuel theft and kidnapping, local officials said.
The five men and one woman belonged to a municipal force in Amozoc, about 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Mexico City.
State Security Secretary Jesus Morales said authorities found a tanker truck with an “illegal” cargo of fuel at the rural crime scene.
Two armed suspects were arrested, he said.
