The Guerrero State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) has arrested Inés “N” and Edgar “N”—alias “El 77”—who are allegedly members of the criminal group La Familia Michoacana. The arrests took place during a security operation in Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero. The two were intercepted in the act on the Ahuehuepan bypass road as they allegedly attempted to evade authorities while traveling in a pickup truck.
During the intervention, authorities seized approximately one kilogram of suspected marijuana, 19 smaller packages containing a similar substance, and two tactical vests. Additionally, a 2015 navy-blue pickup truck was recovered; according to the Guerrero State Attorney General’s Office, the vehicle had an active report of being stolen within the state.
According to investigations by the FGE, the detainees are allegedly members of La Familia Michoacana operating in the municipality of Taxco de Alarcón. The authorities did not provide further details regarding the ongoing investigation into the criminal group.
The operation was carried out with the participation of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA), the National Guard, and the State Police. Security personnel spotted the vehicle while conducting crime-prevention patrols and intercepted it a short distance away, after the occupants attempted to evade them.
