Photos of golf carts & tourists whose caption says--The state Mobility Institute continues its program "IMOVEQROO Taking Care of Your Safety" in Isla Mujeres with ongoing reviews of vehicles used for tourism transportation. The agency says these efforts are assisted by citizen reports & invites you to participate via their social media site.

SIPSE reports: At 1:30 am last night, two men wearing balaclavas &
carrying firearms stole 7500 pesos from Hotel Berny, downtown on Abasolo
St. The receptionist-watchman described them as 'robust' and said they
broke into the administrative office after he told them he had no cash.
In the office they took 500 pesos from a desk drawer, and forced the
safe open with a screwdriver, removing 7000 pesos.
They were only in the hotel for about 10 minutes, and the watchman waited five minutes to ensure they were gone to call his boss, who called the authorities. The police responded promptly and strongly, but were unable to locate the thieves. LINK

This information has already been translated about the five year old girl who was drowning, the revived by Naval personnel. She was sitting up and looking good in the video, before being taken away with her family in the Red Cross ambulance.
The second brief notes that the seven Civil Protection lifeguards monitor three beaches in coordination with the Navy, and are on duty 11a to 6:30p at the following locations: Playa Riíto (in front of Mia Hotel), Chichis, Posada del Mar (Playa Centro) & Media Luna (Half Moon where swimming isn't permitted) and the others walk and patrol North Beach and Playa Centro.
Many tourists visiting for the day
Turismo de pasadía abarrota IM
The weather was good and many tourists were visiting the two main beaches and the beach clubs such as Dolphin Discovery, Tiburón, El Pescador, Lancheros, Albatros, Capitán Dulché, Playa Indio, Casa de los Sueños y Garrafón. In addition to arriving by ferry, many people were arriving on other boats to visit for the day, before returning to Cancun, the Riviera Maya, Punta Sam and Isla Blanca before nightfall.Of the small boats offering tours, the Isla Mujeres seamen said they were operating at about 50 percent, while nearly all the boats from Puerto Juarez were working, who offer better prices from the mainland.
