Isla Mujeres, Q.R. — Police in Isla Mujeres carried out the search of a mainland rehabilitation addiction center Monday night. The search was in response to a family report that a live-in client had been physically attacked.
Agents from the State Attorney General (FGE) carried out the search operation at the Jireh Shaddai mainland addiction treatment center Monday night. Police were at the rehabilitation center on Gastón Alegre López Avenue in the continental area of Isla Mujeres to investigate the complaint.
