Five Arrested in Acolman Raid Linked to Iztapalapa Cell

Prosecutors will decide their legal status following a raid presented as part of the national anti-extortion strategy.

Overview

  • A joint federal–state team executed a judge-approved search in Colonia Las Brisas, Acolman, after fixed, mobile and covert surveillance.
  • Five suspects were detained, including Erika N and Wendy N, whom authorities identified as alleged leaders of the group known as “Los Bonitos.”
  • Authorities say the cell operates from Iztapalapa and is tied to extortion, drug trafficking, homicide, robbery and violent property dispossession.
  • Officers seized two vehicles, two motorcycles, computers, cellphones, ammunition, about 57,000 pesos in cash and doses of drugs.
  • The property was sealed under police custody, and the detainees were informed of their rights and turned over to the Ministerio Público.
