"Kado" and Oscar "N," priority targets and generators of violence, captured; operated in Baja California and Nuevo León

Mexican federal authorities have arrested two key figures involved in organized crime, identified as Héctor Manuel “N,” also known as “Kado,” and Óscar “N.” The detentions are expected to help reduce violence in the affected regions.

Omar García Harfuch, head of the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), announced that “Kado” was apprehended in Yucatán. He is allegedly the leader of a cell responsible for coordinating drug smuggling into the United States, as well as engaging in extortion, homicides, and other violent activities in Baja California.

In Nayarit, following months of intelligence work, authorities captured Óscar “N.” He is described as one of the primary instigators of violence in Nuevo León, with connections to drug distribution, arms trafficking, and money laundering. He is also reportedly involved in supplying weapons to criminal groups and orchestrating attacks against authorities, blockades, and arsons in the state.

Harfuch stated that these arrests will contribute to a decrease in violence in both Baja California and Nuevo León. The SSPC highlighted the significance of these detentions in dismantling criminal operations and addressing the root causes of violence in these Mexican states.
