Prosecutor’s Office arrests four people
From the investigations carried out, it appears that Miguel Ángel «N» is the leader of the gang and originally from Baja California Sur, while Héctor Manuel «N» and Víctor Manuel «N» are from Sinaloa, and Jesús «N» from the state of Guerrero
Two kidnapped farmers from Jocotepec were released and four people were arrested. The kidnappers had demanded a ransom of fifteen million pesos. Those under arrest are Miguel Ángel «N», Héctor Manuel «N», Víctor Manuel «N» and Jesús «N.» The Public Prosecutor’s Office charged all four with aggravated kidnapping. The court ordered them to be sentenced to trial and remanded in custody for one year as a precautionary measure.
This alleged criminal group has been completely dismantled by the UECS (Unidad Especializada en Combate al Secuestro) and prevented from continuing to operate in the state and the rest of the country.
The acts for which they were arrested occurred on November 15, 2021. Two berry farmers were deprived of their freedom as they were traveling in a Chevrolet pickup truck to a ranch on the Morelia-Guadalajara highway, in the municipality of Jocotepec.
Hours later, relatives of the victims received threatening text messages in which they were asked for fifteen million pesos in exchange for the victims’ freedom. The relatives reported the facts to the State Prosecutor’s Office.
As soon as the Specialized Unit to Combat Kidnapping became aware of the crimes, they began investigating. In the town of Hacienda San Martin in Jocotepec, they found a truck owned by one of the victims. Investigators also found a platinum Ford Fiesta type vehicle used to transport the victim to the location where they were held in the Nueva Jerusalén neighborhood in the municipality of Sayula.
Based on solid evidence that the probable kidnappers were there, an agent of the Public Prosecutor’s Office directed an operation resulting in the arrest of the four subjects. The two victims were released safe and sound.
A Judge of the Control y Oralidad court ratified their detention as legal. After the indictment hearing, he analyzed the case, evaluated the evidence, and issued an indictment against the four subjects for the crime, ordering them to be remanded in custody for one year.
