Armed residents guard streets in Mexico's hurricane-hit Acapulco
Armed with machetes and baseball bats, some residents of Mexico's hurricane-ravaged beachside city of Acapulco are guarding their neighborhoods from looters who have already emptied supermarkets.
In the Progreso district, locals have used metal roof panels and other debris left by Hurricane Otis to block the entrances to streets.
After night falls, "people make barricades to prevent people from coming through. They use what's lying on the street," Salvador Chavez, a resident of the area, told AFP on Tuesday.
