How would this happen? It'd take a while to duct tape someone to a poll and if they move at all it would fuck it up, so you'd need them to be very compliant. Was he holding them up at gun point?

Also why wouldn't the people tied up explain what happened?

none of those found tied up have provided information about who carried out the attacks.

This seems more like a cartel selectively tying up thieves for not giving them a cut and threatening them to not say anything.

Or these could just be some random guys who crossed the cartel for whatever reason and the cartel did this to frame/embarrass them
