Looting broke out in the Mexican city of Acapulco on Thursday after Hurricane Otis devastated the resort with widespread flooding.
The Category 5 hurricane made landfall on Wednesday and tore across Mexico’s southern Pacific coast.
Otis’ impact was particularly felt in the coastal city of Acapulco, which was left without access to electricity or internet.
Mexican authorities were caught off guard by Otis after it grew from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in 12 hours.
Looting took place across some stores in the city, including one where National Guard officers allowed people to take perishable food items.
