Isla Mujeres al Dia
After receiving an anonymous call, officers with the municipal Department of Public Security arrested the two men who allegedly robbed the SIX beer store in colonia La Gloria, while they were attempting to return the motorcycle they had rented. This is attributed to the images shared on social networks, although they were not presented (their faces weren't visible), they had the same clothes they were wearing during the robbery. It is said they were (presumed to be) also the same two who robbed the gas station. More information pending.

Preventative work continues in advance of hurricane season, with the Department of Tourism giving talks to providers of tourism services about security and safety measures they can take in the event of a hurricane. Jose Castillo Magana, Director of Tourism, spoke about two programs, "Guest Locator", to locate tourists, and "Guest Assist" with all the information that is needed about what to do before, during and after a hurricane. Those attending included staff with various hotels in the municipality, as well as officials, who are named with their titles.
There is a request for assistance for the family who lost their home and all its contents, and a puppy, in a fire in La Gloria on Tuesday, who include a six year old, a 23 year old, and their parents, which can be delivered to Sra. Maria Uicab or Sr. Jose Rosado.

| Incubation pen Tortugranja (not 2019) |
Turtle nesting season continues throughout June. The turtles nest along the eastern beaches in the wee hours of the night and Tortugranja staff and volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in a pen outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres; Greens, Loggerheads, and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest, but the sand usually isn't deep enough. The sex of the turtles is determined by the temperature of the sand, which is common in reptiles.
