Mexican tourist hotspot hit by naked crime wave

They didn't mention this in the guidebook.

It's famous for its "dazzling beaches, quirky shops and lush palm-covered mountains," with Lonely Planet declaring it one of Mexico's most enticing coastal destinations. Attracting millions of tourists each year, it's definitely a tourist drawing card.

But now, the resort town of Puerto Vallarta is making headlines for a strange new reason: a naked mystery that's shocking locals and baffling officials.

A group of people have been abducted, stripped and tied naked to lampposts, with their buttocks red and raw.

Local police have confirmed the incidents and have opened an investigation, but declined to say how many people were involved. However, local media have reported at least 10 cases.

The victims also had the letter "R" marked on their heads, potentially referring to the Spanish word for rat or thief.

There's speculation it could be a bizarre twist in the local gang wars. But with the victims refusing to talk to police, or claiming they didn't remember anything, it's hard to know for sure.

Only one victim has given away any information, stating he was taken from his home by people unknown to him, before being beaten on a farm.

Mexico has come under the spotlight this year for skyrocketing murder rates.
