Mexico City security officials execute five arrest warrants, notifying four suspects in prison

Mexico City authorities executed five arrest warrants in cases involving express kidnapping, drug-related offenses and aggravated robbery. Four of the warrants were served on people already held in prison.

The city’s Security Secretariat said investigations produced evidence indicating the alleged participation of five people. A public prosecutor presented the cases to a judge, who issued the warrants.

Two warrants were executed at the Oriente Preventive Men’s Prison. One involved a 24-year-old man accused of aggravated express kidnapping, while the other concerned a 47-year-old man investigated for aggravated robbery.

Two more warrants were served at the North Preventive Men’s Prison. Authorities detained and notified men aged 21 and 37 in investigations involving express kidnapping and drug-related offenses, respectively.

Police executed the fifth warrant on a 40-year-old man in the Carlos A. Madrazo neighborhood of Álvaro Obregón. He was taken to a Mexico City prison and placed before the authority seeking him.

The Security Secretariat said all five people remained at the disposal of the judicial authorities, which will decide their legal situations.
