Pablo Vázquez Camacho, Mexico City’s Secretary of Citizen Security, announced on his X account that, as part of ongoing patrols aimed at deterring serious crimes in the capital, Mexico City police arrested Pedro “N,” Jovita “N,” Jessica “N,” and a minor in the Venustiano Carranza borough.
They are suspected members of a criminal cell responsible for violence, operating in the central and northern areas of the city. During the arrest in the Colonia Morelos neighborhood, authorities seized approximately 3,000 paper packets containing suspected cocaine, nearly 15 kilograms of marijuana, and eight mobile devices.
Through these actions, we are disrupting the revenue streams of groups that commit serious crimes, thereby reducing their operational capacity. We will continue working every day to build a safer, fairer, and more peaceful city. As part of efforts to deter serious crimes in the Venustiano Carranza borough, officers from the Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) caught two women, one man, and a teenage girl in the act in the Colonia Morelos neighborhood.
The individuals, suspected members of a criminal group, were found in possession of over 3,000 packets containing suspected cocaine and 15 kilograms of apparent marijuana. The incident occurred near the intersection of Carpintería and Mineros streets. Officers on patrol, conducting security and crime-prevention duties, noticed an individual acting suspiciously while handling a bag. Observing what appeared to be a crime in progress, the officers approached the scene.
