A police officer arrested his patrol partner for stealing a bottle of wine and a music player from a suspect’s van, a mayor in corruption-prone Mexico said.
A suspect released from police custody after paying a fine for creating a disturbance in the street “returned and said that a music player and a bottle of wine were missing from his van,” said the mayor of Jesus Maria town in central Aguascalientes state.
The police officer later found the objects in the car of his partner, who had been keeping watch on the suspect’s van, and turned him in, said Mayor Gregorio Zamarripa.
“We’re going to award the officer for this act of honesty,” Zamarripa said.
“Although some of his colleagues were annoyed by his action, that is how the police should always act.”

墨西哥某鎮鎮長表示，一位警員「大義滅親」，逮捕了從一名嫌犯的廂型車上偷走一瓶酒和一台音樂播放器的巡邏搭檔。貪瀆事件在墨西哥屢見不鮮。
墨西哥中部阿瓜斯卡連特斯州傑瑟斯瑪利亞鎮的鎮長說，一名因在街頭滋事遭警方拘留的嫌犯，在繳付罰款獲釋後，「又返回警局表示，他車上的音樂播放器和一瓶酒不見了。」
鎮長葛雷哥里歐．薩馬里帕說，這位警員事後在他負責看守嫌犯車子的搭檔車上發現這兩件物品，於是將他扭送警方。
薩馬里帕說：「我們會嘉獎這位警員大公無私的行為。」
「雖然有些同事不諒解他的作法，但這才是身為警察應有的表現。」
