In 2025, 29 criminal acts have been detected, 17 more than in the same period of the previous year, which are being processed legally and with the pertinence demanded by current times.

These include the theft of angle irons and transformer oil, the theft of electrical conductors, threats to officials and the theft of solar panels.
