Hundreds of civilians armed with rifles, pistols and machetes decided to provide security for the communities of Guerrero, creating a vigilante force, stating that gangs were committing robberies, kidnappings and murders. Guerrero - home to the Pacific resort town of Acapulco - has been one of the hardest hit by Mexico's drug violence, which has left more than 70,000 people killed across the country since 2006.
