Two individuals have been arrested by the capital's Citizen Security Secretariat (SSC) in the Álvaro Obregón borough of Mexico City. They are accused of allegedly dispossessing a Uruguayan citizen of his home.

According to the SSC, patrol officers responded to an alert about an invasion at a residence on Centenario Avenue in the Lomas de Plateros neighborhood. Upon arrival, a 37-year-old Uruguayan national informed the officers that he had left his home for exercise. Neighbors had alerted him that two men had entered his house, and noises and movement were heard from inside.

When police entered the premises, they found the two suspects. One of them attempted to discard a fanny pack out the window as they tried to flee, but both were apprehended. Inside the recovered fanny pack, officers found a firearm with a magazine and five live rounds, 138 doses of cocaine, a gram scale, and a cell phone.

The arrested individuals were taken to a Public Ministry agent to determine their legal status.
