Mexico City - Three Mexican environmental inspectors and a local man who was accompanying them have been shot to death in Central Mexico as they checked on a complaint about pollution from mine tailings.

The Environment Department says the inspectors were investigating a complaint about chemical pollutants in the Valle de Bravo area, a woodland area surrounding a lake just west of Mexico City.

Their bodies were found on a roadside Friday, the day after they were reported missing.

Two of the victims worked for the Attorney General's Office for Environmental Protection, and one worked as a local representative of the National Commission for Protected Natural Areas.

The fourth victim was a local man who was accompanying them.
