Tabasco Patrol Arrests La Barredora Operator ‘Beto Coca’ and Partner

The arrests mark a promised step in Tabasco’s joint push to dismantle La Barredora’s leadership.

Overview

  • Security forces detained Humberto ‘N’ (‘Beto Coca’) and Luisa Irasema ‘N’ (‘La Señora’) on October 14 during patrols on the VillahermosaCiudad del Carmen highway at Barra de San Pedro, Centla.
  • The operation was led by the FIRT Olmeca with coordinated state participation, and authorities reported no shootouts during the capture.
  • Officers seized small transparent bags with material resembling marijuana and a gray Volkswagen Teramont linked to the detainees.
  • Officials identify ‘Beto Coca’ as a plaza boss and financial operator for La Barredora, and both suspects remain in custody under investigation for crimes against health.
  • The detentions follow the prosecutor’s recent pledge to capture priority targets and build on last month’s arrest of alleged leader Hernán Bermúdez Requena.
