Distributors of Coca-Cola in southeastern Mexico had received threats before attackers burned four of their trucks in a marked area in recent months by drug gangs dispute.
Femsa, the largest bottler of Coca-Cola in Mexico, reported that closed its distribution plant in Guerrero since Wednesday last week after some of its dispatchers received threats.
In a written statement released Tuesday night, Femsa not specify what were these threats, saying only that they were made direct to your delivery way.
The Attorney General of Guerrero reported Tuesday that four trucks of Coca-Cola were burned in the town of Arcelia, but did not specify the reasons.
The state agency said the attacks are under investigation.
Some local companies have been targeted by criminal gangs seeking to extort money, but multinationals are rarely victims of such attacks.
In 2012, in Michoacan, the Knights Templar cartel was blamed for attacking and burning five wineries and dozens of vehicles owned by the company Sabritas, a Mexican subsidiary of PepsiCo.
At that time, members of the cartel noted that Sabritas had allowed authorities to use their vehicles for intelligence work, which the company denied
