Man ordered to trial for home robbery in Azcapotzalco, identified via recordings

A control judge has ordered José “N” to stand trial for his alleged involvement in an aggravated home invasion in the Azcapotzalco borough. The Attorney General's Office of Mexico City announced the proceedings against the suspect.

The investigation indicates that the victim left their residence on March 31, 2026. Upon returning on April 7, the victim discovered the main bedroom in disarray and found that a safe had been stolen. The safe contained two gold chains, two watches, 60,000 pesos in cash, and other valuables.

According to the prosecution, the accused was identified through the analysis of video recordings, photographic identifications made by two witnesses, and various expert reports. These elements led to the issuance of an arrest warrant, which was executed by investigative police officers on July 14. The arrest occurred as José “N” was leaving a hearing related to another criminal case he is facing for domestic violence.

During a hearing on July 16, the judge ruled to proceed with the trial, imposed a pre-trial detention measure, and set a two-month period for the completion of the complementary investigation.
