Four alleged Anti Unión de Tepito members arrested in Mexico City

Authorities in Mexico City have arrested four individuals suspected of belonging to the Anti Unión de Tepito criminal group, including one minor. The arrests occurred during two separate police operations in the Cuauhtémoc and Venustiano Carranza mayoralties.

During the first operation in the Morelos neighborhood of Cuauhtémoc, police officers observed two young men carrying what appeared to be drug packages. When approached, the suspects attempted to flee but were apprehended. A search yielded a pistol with five live rounds and 27 doses of marijuana.

The second arrest took place on Avenida Manuel de la Peña y Peña in the Zona Centro neighborhood of Venustiano Carranza. Police spotted two individuals carrying what seemed to be a handgun. A subsequent search uncovered a firearm with three live rounds, 15 bags of suspected marijuana, and a black motorcycle.

Records indicate that one of the 18-year-old detainees has three prior appearances in the Public Ministry for health-related offenses. Another 18-year-old has a previous entry into the penitentiary system for similar crimes. The 23-year-old detainee has served time in prison for health-related offenses and has also been cited by a civic judge for drug use in public. The minor has one prior appearance in the Public Ministry for the same offense.

All four individuals have been handed over to a public prosecutor for further legal proceedings.
