A city agency issued citations to local bars after the authorities held an inspection effort over the weekend.
The City of Mexicali only reported that the bars were fined 48,000 pesos or about $2,526.
Mexicali media outlets said the inspections were held by the City’s Department of Government.
Mexicali Secretary of Government Daniel Valenzuela said inspectors fined El Relajo bar and La Mosca VIP strip club after finding the sites opened beyond the authorized time.
Inspections began at 10 p.m. Saturday.
The inspections were held in order to address recent traffic accidents. The city also sought minors inside bars.
Previously, Valenzuela said fines could be up to the equivalent of around $5,000 USD.
The city official also said only four bars have paid the city fees in order to remain open until 5 a.m.
Last year, the city fined 40 bars for schedule violations, accepting minors, and fights among customers.
La Crónica newspaper reported the city has only 15 inspectors of the Office of Alcohol and plans to hire 20 more.
The city has 50 businesses that sell alcohol after midnight.
Minor’s death considered accidental
The death of a four-year-old girl who was found last week dead by her grandmother was determined as accidental.
According to the authorities the girl was found Friday at 2:00 p.m. on her bed hanging from a bonnet in the Colonia Benito Juárez area.
The grandmother, who was taking care of the minor, told the police the girl was left in her bed while the woman was changing a gas tank.
Originally, the authorities found no signs of foul play in the girl’s body.
The state Coroner’s Office said the girl, who had Down syndrome, died of accidental asphyxia.
Also, the agency said the girl had no injuries and had good weight and stature.
La Voz newspaper recalled a similar case that occurred about three years ago.
Foul play detected in dead man
The body of a man who was found last week inside an irrigation canal died of suffocation.
The state Coroner’s office said the victim, who was identified as Jesús, 40, was found Thursday wrapped in a red blanket in the Colonia Villas del Colorado area, by the Sabritas plant.
La Voz newspaper recalled that back in November collectives of relatives of missing people found the corpse of a man inside a suitcase.
