Police Officer and Resident Poisoned in Puerto Vallarta Amidst Animal Poisoning Incident

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – A police officer and a resident of the Nuevo Ixtapa subdivision in Puerto Vallarta fell victim to poisoning, closely following the poisoning of several animals in the vicinity. The shocking incident unfolded on Arbol de Corral Street, situated between Acacias and Guayacán, within the Nuevo Ixtapa subdivision.

Local authorities were alerted to the situation when multiple dogs and cats were discovered consuming food from a cake container, which, upon investigation, appeared to contain poisonous substances.

The alarming discovery prompted immediate action from vigilant neighbors who sought assistance from the Green Patrol of the Puerto Vallarta Citizen Security Directorate.

As officers from the agency arrived at the scene to investigate the animal poisoning, they inadvertently came into contact with the toxic substance within the cake container, identified as a mysterious blue liquid. Subsequently, they began experiencing severe discomfort, characterized by dizziness, disorientation, and rapid heartbeat, rendering them unable to move independently.

Prompt intervention was essential, necessitating the immediate deployment of paramedics from the Directorate of Civil Protection and Firefighters. Both the affected police officer and the civilian victim received urgent medical attention and were subsequently transported to local hospitals for further treatment.

In response to this alarming incident, officials from the State Prosecutor’s Office swiftly initiated an investigation file. Their primary objective is to identify and hold accountable the individuals responsible for the poisoning of innocent animals and the subsequent intoxication of the police officer and the civilian resident.

The community, shocked and appalled by this incident, anxiously awaits further developments in the investigation, hoping for swift justice and a resolution to this disturbing case. The well-being of both the affected officer and the resident, as well as the safety of animals in the Nuevo Ixtapa subdivision, remains a matter of grave concern to all.

Authorities are urging anyone with information pertaining to this incident to come forward and cooperate with the ongoing investigation, with the aim of ensuring that those responsible for this reprehensible act are brought to justice.

As this investigation unfolds, the community and authorities alike are reminded of the importance of vigilance and the need to protect the safety and well-being of all residents, both human and animal, within the Puerto Vallarta region.
