Attack on surfers investigated September 13, 2007 TIJUANA – U.S. Consulate officials are working with Mexican authorities to determine if some men who were recently arrested by federal investigators assaulted and robbed a group of North County surfers just before the Labor Day weekend. Charles Smith, spokesman for the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana, said officials have heard reports of two other attacks and are trying to verify whether the same group is involved. Smith said the cases appear to have similarities. The three surfers were stopped in Tijuana about 4:30 a.m. Aug. 31 by a convoy of cars with flashing blue lights, according to one of the victims. The man asked that his name not be published because he feared retaliation from the assailants. The robbers put guns to the men's heads before taking their two pickups and recreational gear, the man said. Smith said the consulate has been in contact with victims of one attack, and Mexican authorities are hoping the victims can identify their assailants through photos. Smith said officials are trying to collect additional information on the two other possible attacks, one of which apparently involved a group of men who were going fishing. Information about the attacks has spread mostly through word-of-mouth and the Internet, but the victims were apparently hesitant to contact authorities out of fear for their safety. U.S. Consulate officials said U.S. citizens can contact them to report any crime committed south of the border. The e-mail address is: consulartijuan@ state.gov
