2025Prensa Libre 23-may-2025

The value of the goods per stolen container truck ranges from Q30,000 to Q500,000 (Prensa Libre, May 23, 2025). As of November 2024 signal jammers were not regulated by law; the Congressional Interior Committee proposed that only Mingob be allowed to acquire them, with penalties of 3 to 7 years for private possession (the bill's status was not tracked). Standard regional escort practice is an armed escort in a vehicle or riding in the cab, GPS reporting points and a post-delivery report (promotional claim).
