History
Portales in Village of Hueypoxtla.
On December 4, 2013, cobalt-60 from a truck theft two days before 2 km away was recovered there, as well as the heavy truck itself; the decommissioned cobalt therapy machine had been en route to proper disposal.[2] Federal police and military units established an armed cordon approximately 50 meters around the radiation source in the empty lot where it had been abandoned.[3] Six people showing signs of possible radiation exposure from the orphan source were later detained.[4] It is not known whether the thieves wanted the truck (which included a crane), the cobalt-60, or both.[5]
