Eight bodies were found dumped in wooded lots and sinkhole ponds near Cancun, Mexico. The bodies were found in a poor neighborhood about 10 miles from Cancun's beach and hotel zone, in an area close to the local airport. Dumping grounds are often used by drug cartels to dispose of victims. Searches for clandestine grave sites have become common throughout the country.

The U.S. State Department has issued a travel alert warning visitors to exercise caution, especially after dark, at resorts including Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum.
