The heist at the Port of Manzanillo in Colima, Mexico, has been widely regarded as a remarkably sophisticated operation. The event, which took place in early June 2024, involved a group of well-organized thieves who managed to steal 20 containers of valuable goods, including gold, silver, and electronics, without resorting to violence.


Detailed ExecutionThe operation was executed over an estimated eight-hour period. The thieves exploited the port's security vulnerabilities, particularly in areas managed by private entities rather than the military. This allowed them to bypass any heightened security measures typically associated with military oversight​​.

Planning and Strategy
  • Inside Knowledge: The precision and efficiency of the heist suggest that the criminals had insider knowledge of the port's layout and operations. They knew exactly which containers to target and how to access them without raising immediate alarms.
  • Logistics: The operation likely involved significant logistical planning. Transporting 20 large containers of goods would require substantial resources, including trucks and possibly cranes or other heavy machinery to move the containers quickly and efficiently.
  • No Violence: Remarkably, the thieves managed to carry out the heist without firing a single shot, indicating a high level of coordination and control over the situation​
Aftermath and InvestigationThe Mexican authorities have launched a thorough investigation into the heist, focusing on several key aspects:
  • Security Breach: Investigators are looking into how the security breach occurred and why the private management areas were particularly vulnerable.
  • Value of Stolen Goods: While the exact value of the stolen items is still being determined, initial estimates suggest it could be worth billions of dollars, particularly if large quantities of gold and silver were involved.
  • Insurance Claims: There are also speculations about potential insurance fraud, given the high value of the stolen goods and the complexity of the heist​​.
