If you venture so much as 5 miles out of the "trendy" Cancun tourist area, your in some real trouble. just about a year or so ago, right before spring break, they found 5 bodies on the skirts of cancun killed execution style. Drug crimes are not as common in the area, but i believe that the drug plot "up for grabs" includes Cancun. This is classic police corruption though. They may have had a hand in it or are on the payroll and covering up for someone.
So is this big news in Canada? cause honestly, people down here by the border get kidnapped, and killed daily.
