  • The Aviation Crime Prevention Institute (ACPI) has issued an All Points Bulletin warning owners of specific aircraft models (Cessna singles, Caravans, King Airs, and certain Cessna Twins) about an enhanced threat of aircraft thievery.
  • The increased threat stems from the Mexican government's accelerated rate of seizing planes, forcing drug cartels to quickly procure American assets to replenish their illegal aviation fleets.
  • Aircraft owners are advised to take immediate measures to secure and guard their airplanes to prevent them from being stolen and used for criminal activities.
