SAN JOSE DEL CABO, Mexico (AP) — Prosecutors said six bodies had been found dumped on Thursday and Friday around the twin resorts of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo at the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula, which has been the scene of increasing violence in recent months.
The prosecutors' office said a woman's body was discovered on a road leading to the airport along with several doses of methamphetamine and marijuana. The bodies of three men were found wrapped in plastic bags and a tarp in San Jose del Cabo and the bodies showed signs of torture. A man and a woman were found shot to death in the area near the airport.
Elsewhere in Mexico, prosecutors in the central state of Puebla said Friday that they had arrested 87 suspects linked to a kidnapping and fuel-theft gang.

Hurry up with that damn wall.
oh please we go all the time never a problem we stay in the tourist areas or with tours from the cruise ships
I spent a week at Cabo a few years ago. We ventured out once, and spent the rest of our vacation at the Hilton. Not safe.
Los Cabos Is only a resort until the drug cartel resorts to chopping off your head.
I don’t get it. A hard working people who believe in God. Plenty of natural resources. So why aren’t the richer than we are?
The road leading to the airport had the rusting and/or burnt out carcasses of many destroyed cars along its length some years ago. As if the authorities simply pushed the wrecks off the right of way after every accident. And left them there.
Pray for and support the many Christian missionaries who are bringing God’s Word to the people of Mexico and planting new churches throughout the provinces. Pray for the native pastors being raised up to continue those churches into the future. It is very risky to be a believer in Mexico today.
It’s because they have a wall on their southern border, silly. A lack of diversity robs a nation of its’ potential for greatness.
Your answer is corrupt government officials at every level. If the people had an honest leader who could fight the entrenched corrupt bureaucracy, Mexico could THRIVE.
We loved Cabo San Lucas when we went there on a cruise, and I’d go again in a second!
I rented a house on the east cape road a couple years ago. Right on the ocean, got it cheap because of fear. Best vacation ever! The tourist trap of Cabo was obnoxious the one day I went there. I felt safe, lots of Mexicans celebrated Easter on the beach. Friendly and when they left there wasn’t so much as a gum wrapper left behind.

That’s what we did when we went on the Carnival Cruise ship 11 years ago..went to Mazatlan, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta(Which was the nicest of all three) just stayed in the area around the ship and that was it
We need to INVADE and secure safety for our citizens!!Enough is enough.
Wife and I went to Cancun. Most awesome vacation. But on the last night she was feeling too well. Got home and she still wasn’t well. Went to the doctor and it turned out to be a parasite from something she ate. Was sick for several months.
Don’t trust the food or water.
Twenty + years ago wife and I spent a few days there. Federales stopped the bus from the airport and came on with SMGs at the ready.
We did have to walk a ways at night from a restaurant to where the resort shuttle pickup was. No incident, not even a glance, but it was a bit nervous. Being big does not help when the predators are all armed.
White-European elites who horde all the wealth and encourage their mestizo “untermenschen” to move to the US.
I cannot believe the people I know that still go to Mexico on vacation, unreal.
And you think Cano isn’t a tourist area
Drove from Orange Cty Ca to Cabo San Lucas in 91. Stayed for 4 or 5 days to see the longest total eclipse in many many years. The drive was very interesting and enjoyable. Would never think of doing it again.
