Since the second week of January, around 800 masked and armed residents have set up vigilante groups who are manning checkpoints, imposing curfews and arresting alleged criminals. This unofficial police force says they are providing security for the municipalities of Ayutla de los Libres and Teconoapa in Guerrero state, an area that has been hit hard by Mexico's drug violence. More than 70,000 people killed across the country since 2006 and residents in Guerrero, home to the Pacific resort town of Acapulco, say that drug gangs were committing trafficking, extortion and kidnapping. Armed with rifles, pistols and machetes, the vigilantes ordered a 10 p.m. curfew for the two towns and are hunting those who they believe have been involved. Schools have suspended classes as there were fears that they could be targeted by the gangs. A man in a ski mask at one roadblock told reporters that townspeople had to act against law-breakers. 'They kill, extort, rape. You do not know if they are drug dealers, thugs, who want to grab everything,' he said. 'We want to return peace and tranquility to the entire population. Only the people can restore order.' The vigilantes have so far detained 44 suspected criminals and announced that will administer their own justice. The suspects will be judged by the 'community police and a general assembly of all the towns,' Mauro Rosario Ayodoro, head of a union of local communities, told reporters on January 16. 'We won’t hand any of them (suspects) to any government entity. Their rehabilitation will be handled in the communities,' he said. More info and photos on the link...
