Two Chinese men who travel to Mexico to watch the World Cup are robbed at gunpoint in Mexico City shortly after arriving, multiple outlets report. State news agency Xinhua says the victims, identified only by their surnames Wang and Li, land at Mexico City International Airport on Wednesday evening. The robbery happens soon after, when two masked riders—reported as wearing helmets and arriving on a motorcycle—hold up their car at gunpoint near the airport area. Channel NewsAsia reports the suspects take passports, bags, laptops, cash and luxury watches. According to The Independent and the South China Morning Post, the Chinese embassy in Mexico is in contact with local authorities and calls for a swift investigation. The reports also say one suspect is arrested. The victims return to China on Friday after being in the country for less than 48 hours, according to the South China Morning Post, which adds that the men have left Mexico following the incident.
