Merchants Complain About Mobile Vendors
Diario Respuesta/Jesus Molina reports that there are merchants complaining about the number of mobile vendors, and they want the Enforcement agency to intervene. The merchants say there is a group of women from the state of Chiapas, called "Chapitas" who are all vending under one person's permit, and that their small children are participating. There are complaints of foreign women vending goods on Hidalgo in the evening illegally, and that people from Cancun sell all sorts of "goodies" to tourists on the beaches, mostly without permits. It is noted that many people are selling goods who do not have permits and do not live on the island, and unnamed merchants want the Enforcement agency to monitor the beaches to only allow vending by those who have licenses.
Waiter Arrested After Burglary
Twenty-three year old Germán Rodríguez Bonilla, originally from Tabasco, was arrested after a resident reported a home burglary.

Police began searching the weedy area near the home, and found the young man, who works as a waiter. He had stolen 300 pesos and belongings, which were returned to their owner. Subsequently, he was taken before the Public Prosecutor for the crime of burglary. Source: Por Esto

Recycling Trash & Receiving Food
Sunday morning more than 500 people lined up to exchange recyclable trash for basic food products, including local produce. This is part of the "Reciclando Basura por Alimentos" program of the state government and has been very well received by the Islanders. People have gotten into the habit of separating their recyclable trash to exchange at the next event. This program benefits the community in general and the most vulnerable families in particular.
