Cancun, Q.R. — Authorities in Mexico City have arrested a Most Wanted in Quintana Roo. On Wednesday night, Arturo “N”, a known leader of a criminal group, was returned to the state to face charges.

According to local authorities, Arturo “N” was wanted for robbery and kidnapping in Cancun. He was arrested Wednesday at the Mexico City International Airport on an outstanding warrant upon returning from a trip.
The State Attorney General said Arturo “N” was taken into custody by elements of the Secretary of the Navy, the National Anti-Kidnapping Coordination and the Attorney General’s Office of Mexico City (FGJCDMX).
Police achieved the capture of Arturo “N”, “for his alleged involvement in events possibly constituting the crimes of robbery and kidnapping, to the detriment of three victims.”
Arturo “N”, who leads a criminal gang dedicated to robbery and kidnapping in Cancun, is considered a priority target of the State’s Crime Atlas (Atlas Delictivo del Estado).
Following his capture in Mexico City, elements of the Investigative Police attached to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Combating Kidnapping and Extortion Crimes, executed an arrest warrant. After the corresponding proceedings, they proceeded to transfer him to Cancun.

The first investigations indicate that on December 22, 2024, the suspect traveled from the United States to Cancun and later moved to the state of Querétaro, where he took a flight to Panama, on January 5 of this year.
After that, Arturo “N” traveled to the Bahamas. Also, on January 20, he traveled by air on the Panama-Mexico City route. Upon his arrival in Mexico, he was detained and handed over to the agents of the Attorney General’s Office of the State of Quintana Roo for his transfer to Cancun.

Upon his arrival and processing in Cancun, Arturo “N” was admitted to the Benito Juárez Social Reintegration Center.
In October 2024, José Adolfo “N”, a member of the criminal group led by Arturo “N”, was arrested and prosecuted for kidnapping in Cancun.
