Overview

  • Police at a Conduce Sin Alcohol checkpoint in Colonia San Rafael stopped a black car, where a rear-seat passenger said he was being held against his will.
  • The copilot exited and tried to flee on foot but was captured meters away, and officers then detained the 48-year-old driver.
  • The rescued man told authorities he had been intercepted after leaving work, assaulted, and forced into the vehicle under threats.
  • ERUM paramedics examined the victim and diagnosed a contusion with edema in the zygomatic arch, and no hospital transfer was required.
  • A 30-year-old relative reported receiving a ransom call and making a deposit to a provided account, and that information was integrated into the Fiscalía Antisecuestros investigation.
