“Sol Prendido” and “HEARST” for Borderland Beat
Municipal police officers in Tijuana stole a drug shipment from CDS Los Aquiles, last month after raiding a home on Privada Altitud 58.
Yesterday an audio of a lieutenant of Alfonso Arzate García aka El Aquiles began circulating online.
Video translation is as follows:
Alejandro: Hello?
Moreno: What’s going on Alejandro?
Alejandro: What’s up.
Moreno: How’s it going, I’m calling on behalf of El Aquiles. My name is Moreno.
Alejandro: Ok. Tell me.
Moreno: I’m calling because we sent you on Friday to keep tabs on who was stealing from our operation. But you ended up joining the fucking thieves in their act. You were loaded with more than…
Alejandro: What?
Moreno: Look here old man. I have the video from that private party.Your patrol vehicle was loaded with more than 20 bags. But you returned with only 12 of them. What’s up with that?
Alejandro: Okay. Here’s what happened. When those guys loaded my vehicle This is what I explained to the person who called me. He said to me: ‘there’s a lot of merchandise there’. I looked into the vehicle and they were loading away. They had already loaded so many of them beforehand and so all those bags were there. Ok. So, that’s how that went. He then asked if I could do him the favor of taking everything where it had to go.
Moreno: Listen to me, listen to me you fool. I was sent to call you. Within the video we see that your patrol vehicle was loaded with more than 20 bags. But that you only returned with 12 of them. I’m letting you know that you need to return what’s missing otherwise you’re going to be fucking killed. I’m El Moreno and I’m an operator for El Aquiles. I happen to be the person who runs that district where you work. I’ve already talked to numerous people and it’s going to be me who ends up fucking you up if you don’t return what you’ve stolen.
Alejandro: Ok. But…
Moreno: You need to return everything. Damn dude. We sent you to keep an eye out but instead you joined the fucking thieves.
Alejandro: I didn’t grab the other things. I called that other guy…
Moreno: You were loaded with more than 20…
Alejandro: But those guys ended up unloading it again…
Moreno: I don’t know, I don’t know. I just want back what belongs to the boss.
Alejandro: But I didn’t grab anything.
Moreno: Look, I’m going to send you the pics just so that you can see that I’m not lying to you. I’m not bullshitting you.
Alejandro: No,no,no. I’m not saying that.
Moreno: If I’m calling you then it’s because I have proof. And you’re not going to fuck me over. Take a look at the picture there you fool. Do you think that there’s 12 bags there? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit you fool. It’s best that you return what you’ve stolen you fucking thief. Otherwise, I’m going to fucking destroy you. Did you look at the pictures already?
Alejandro: Yes, yes I have.
Moreno: Take a look at those pictures that I’ve sent you and don’t be a fucking thief with this matter. You should already know who that merchandise belongs to. There’s just too much missing there for you guys to think that this isn’t a serious matter. Someone stole 500…
Alejandro: But…
Moreno: Listen to me you fool, listen to me. Someone stole 500 kilos of cocaine and 1300 pounds. So, let’s clarify this shit.
Alejandro: But the thing is…
Moreno: I have in my possession your full name, your personal records, the number of your patrol vehicle, and I will eventually show up at your residence partner. I will catch you whenever you leave your subdivision or during your off days. I don’t give a fuck.
Alejandro: That’s why I was telling you. How do I go about this matter if I didn’t take anything?
Moreno: Well, I don’t know dude.
Alejandro: I’m trying to resolve this diplomatically with you.
Moreno: I’m also saying all of this to you in a diplomatic manner. But you guys have really fucked up here. You’re all fucking pigs and you’re pigging out in your own slop. But this time you’re going to find yourselves confronted in a fucking armed attack, an armed attack with us.
Alejandro: But I didn’t, I didn’t personally take anything. I gave everything to that guy like I’ve told you. It was raining, ask him. There was no more room within the police unit. How do I resolve this? I’m not denying this happened.
Moreno: Look here you fool. I’m not, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not going to argue with you anymore. As it is I’ve been on this phone call for more than 5 minutes now. I’m just going to say this. You need to return what’s missing. Otherwise, I will end up killing everyone within your household including your fucking dog.
Alejandro: But I didn’t, I didn’t…
Moreno: I can’t make it any clearer old man. You need to return what’s missing you fucking thief.
Alejandro: But that’s why I was telling you…
Moreno: Very well then. You’re going to end up seeing me in that armed confrontation that’s coming against you…
