On Thursday, June 4, 2026, a gas explosion occurred at a warehouse in the Juan Negrete neighborhood of Tepeaca, Puebla, involving LP gas tankers. Global Gas has officially distanced itself from the incident, stating that the vehicles involved do not belong to its fleet nor operate under its corporate name.

By midday on Friday, June 5, authorities detained Alexis N., known as “El Caras,” preliminarily identified as the suspected person responsible for the explosion. This arrest highlights the investigative work carried out by the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Forced Disappearances.

In a press release shared on social media, Global Gas confirmed it conducted an internal review of its operational records and verified that none of its units were involved in the explosion. The company emphasized that it maintains strict control, identification, and traceability mechanisms for its entire fleet, allowing it to track each vehicle precisely.

The statement also warned against unauthorized use of its logos or branding on vehicles, labeling such actions as misuse of its corporate identity and indicating potential legal action. “The presence of graphic elements or signage associated with the brand on vehicles not belonging to the company constitutes improper use of its commercial identity,” the company added.

Global Gas has provided technical and operational information to security and justice authorities to support ongoing investigations. The company reaffirmed its commitment to legality, operational safety, and compliance with current regulations in the handling and distribution of LP gas.

For residents and commuters in Puebla, this incident underscores the importance of regulated and transparent transport systems for hazardous materials. As the city moves forward with projects like the cablebús, which promise safer and more sustainable urban mobility, ensuring accountability in all sectors remains crucial.
