Three surfers, two Australians and an American, were killed in Mexico as thieves targeted them for their truck tires, leading to widespread calls for increased security along coastal regions.
Three surfers, Australian brothers Jake and Callum Robinson and American Jack Carter Rhoad, were tragically killed in Mexico after thieves targeted them to steal their truck tires. Mexican authorities, including Chief State Prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez, reported that the lethal attack occurred when the victims caught the criminals in the act. The incident took place after the group went missing on April 27 while camping and surfing along the coast.
Their bodies were later discovered in a remote well following an extensive search that found their tents and truck abandoned. Mexican police have since arrested three suspects in connection with the killings, now facing charges related to kidnapping.
The surfers’ deaths have profoundly impacted the local and international surfing communities, sparking discussions about safety along Mexico’s coastal regions. This event has led to widespread calls for heightened security to ensure the safety of residents and tourists alike in the area.
