A spokesman for the Coordination Group of Guerrero, Roberto Alvarez, said the service had been discontinued since Monday. During Saturday and Sunday, several public transport buses that cover this area had been assaulted.
This Sunday, a threat was announced in social networks warning bus drivers to stop working. The population has also been asked to refrain from moving to or from the towns of Acapetlahuaya, Teloloapan and Buena Vista del Aire.
"Avoid going to these towns, otherwise you will not be respected because everyone directly and indirectly supports the community police and when we enter Teloloapan, all will disappear because they all support it", the threats pointed out.
