“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
An alleged operator of Los Salazar was arrested by Mexicali Municipal Police during an intervention in the Miguel Aleman neighborhood in the Mexicali valley.
As a result of the search, 1,500 pills of what appears to be fentanyl, a drug that is highly produced in Mexico and in high demand in the neighboring country to the north, were also seized.
At around 7:00 p.m., the intervention took place at the detour of Federal Highway 2, on the way to the state highway, in the vicinity of Colonia Miguel Aleman, the community that borders the municipality of San Luis Rio Colorado.
According to the information provided by the agency, municipal police officers intercepted the subject during patrols in the area.
At this point they detected a 2013 Yamaha motorcycle, blue with black, and a man who, according to police officers, was urinating on the public road.
It was at that moment that they decided to approach him and after searching his belongings they discovered that he was carrying the bag with the opioid, hidden inside a backpack
This was enough reason to arrest Luis Miguel Rodríguez Ledezma, 38 years old, resident of San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora.
Following an investigation it was confirmed that this man has been identified as a member of the Los Salazar criminal group of the Sinaloa Cartel.
