Also arrested were his main collaborator, Lucas Alberto ‘N,’ 37, and Marcos Gabriel ‘N,’ 36, a direct collaborator in the criminal organization. All three are Venezuelan nationals.
The three detainees are linked to the crimes of human trafficking, drug dealing, homicide, kidnapping, and extortion in Puebla, Morelos, the State of Mexico, and various municipalities in Mexico City.
They were found in possession of 92 doses of marijuana, 44 of crystal meth, 18 of crack cocaine, two cell phones, and cash, all of which were seized.
The operation involved members of the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of the Navy, the Attorney General’s Office, and the National Guard, in coordination with the Ministry of Citizen Security and the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City.
The operation was the result of inter-institutional intelligence work that led to the location of Nelson Arturo ‘N’ in the nation’s capital, after monitoring him in various states.
Thus, during a security operation carried out without endangering the population, officers identified and arrested the alleged criminal leader, who was accompanied by two of his associates.
The detainees were informed of their constitutional rights and, along with the items seized, were handed over to the corresponding Public Ministry agent. They have an arrest warrant for human trafficking and organized crime. Nelson Arturo ‘N’ also has an outstanding arrest warrant for public health crimes and criminal association.
