English translation (google) from Seminario Laguna FB page,

Editorial.- There were 10 camera posts of the C5 Urban Shield located in the municipality of Chapala, which were demolished during the early hours of this December 14; State authorities have been deployed in the area.

According to the report, the officers monitoring the cameras realized when they lost connectivity, so they proceeded to check the status of the poles, which were lying on the ground.

In total, there were ten surveillance points demolished in the municipality, according to data from Social Communication, in the Ajijic delegation the posts were located on the bypass, in La Canacinta, in Villanova and two in La Canacinta.

Three more were located in the Santa Cruz de la Soledad delegation, one at La Pista, another at the Exit to Mezcala and one more in Boca Laguna; in addition to one in Mirasol and another in Riberas del Pilar.

Due to these acts of vandalism, no injuries were reported, in addition to the municipality reporting that the security and road coordination departments are removing the poles to avoid accidents.

Doesn't sound like 'vandalism' to me.   More likely a concerted effort to hide criminal activity.

The State Security Coordination reports that in total there were 12 C5 monitoring points that were intentionally damaged during the last hours.

Of the total number of damaged poles, 10 are located on the Chapala-Jocotepec corridor and the other two in the municipality of Tepatitlán.
In the case of the posts located on the Chapala Jocotepec corridor, nine of them were damaged in the foundation, which caused the structures to fall down.

The statement issued by the state authorities assures that since they became aware of the damage to the C5 poles, the technicians began to restore them, in addition to the fact that the prosecutor's office began with the corresponding investigation folders.

So far this six-year term, 194 C5 poles have been intentionally damaged and not a single detainee has been arrested for these events. (By José Luis Escamilla)

And now there's lots of police presence HERE instead of WHERE the cartel really doesn't want them to be.

The one on Ajijic plaza is still standing with a police guard, maybe they will get it tonight..
