U.S. government employees in Tijuana, Mexico are being instructed to shelter in place after a sudden outbreak of violent crime.
Mexican law enforcement is investigating a series of vehicle fires and reports of violence in the area. The sudden outbreak of apparent arson has spooked officials and raised questions on the motive.
The U.S. government has ordered employees to stay sheltered and out of public places as a precaution.
"The U.S. Consulate General Tijuana is aware of reports of multiple vehicle fires, roadblocks and heavy police activity in Tijuana, Mexicali, Rosarito, Ensenada and Tecate," the consulate said. "U.S. government employees have been instructed to shelter in place until further notice."
