The group, all men who worked in administration in a police station, were snatched from a highway in Chiapas.
Ednews informs via Al-Jazeera that security forces in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas are searching for 14 administrative employees of the state security ministry kidnapped by members of an armed group.
The incident took place on Tuesday, about 34.4km (22 miles) west of the state capital Tuxtla Gutierrez, on the highway connecting it to the town of Ocozocoautla.
Those kidnapped were all men and worked in administration in a police station, the state security agency said in a statement.
“Nothing like this has ever happened,” a ministry spokesperson told the Reuters news agency, adding that the motive for the kidnapping was being investigated.
Both federal and state agents are involved in the search.
Some Mexican news outlets released video of the alleged kidnapping showing several vehicles stopped on the highway with their doors open and men in bulletproof vests pointing guns at the passengers in the vehicles.
