Mexico City authorities have apprehended four men in connection with extortion, robbery, and attempted homicide charges. The arrests are the result of an investigation targeting criminal activities in the Gustavo A. Madero, Venustiano Carranza, and Cuajimalpa boroughs.

According to the Secretary of Citizen Security, Pablo Vรกzquez, the suspects identified as Josรฉ Antonio "N," Marcel Emiliano "N," Eder Aldahir "N," and Juan Carlos "N" are allegedly involved in extorting local merchants and shopkeepers. They also face accusations related to other crimes, including robbery and homicide, and have previous criminal records.

Three of the arrest warrants were executed within prison facilities, while the fourth took place on the streets of Cuajimalpa. The police gathered sufficient evidence through their investigation to secure the arrest orders. Two warrants were served at the Reclusorio Oriente in Iztapalapa for men aged 20 and 24. Another was carried out at Reclusorio Norte for a 37-year-old man with multiple prior incarcerations. The final arrest occurred in the San Mateo Tlaltenango neighborhood of Cuajimalpa, involving a 35-year-old man also with a history in the prison system.

Josรฉ Antonio "N", Marcel Emiliano "N", Eder Aldahir "N" and Juan Carlos "N" are presumably linked to extortion against merchants and shopkeepers, and to other crimes such as robbery and homicide, and they have criminal records.
