Cancun, Q.R. — A suspect wanted in what police have called a violent robbery was located and arrested in Yucatan. Raúl Alberto “N” is one of three men accused of breaking into a home, robbing it of its contents and holding the woman inside.
The State Investigation Police (PEI) of the SSP in the state of Yucatan say Raúl Alberto “N” was located in the town of Xelpac Friday. He was taken into custody after police were successful in obtaining a search warrant for his property due to an ongoing investigation between Yucatan and Quintana Roo authorities.
“During a joint operation between state and federal forces carried out Friday in the municipality of Kanasin, a man involved in a violent home robbery and deprivation of liberty in the city of Cancun, Quintana Roo, was arrested,” they reported.
Army, Navy and National Guard personnel, along with members of the Ministry of Public Security and the State Attorney General’s Office (FGE) in collaboration with Quintana Roo authorities, executed a search warrant on a property in the town of Xelpac.
His arrest stems from prior investigations conducted by the State Investigation Police (PEI) of the SSP and the Specialized Unit for Combating Kidnapping (UECS) of the FGE, into the events that occurred in Cancun on the 15th of this month with support of their counterparts in Quintana Roo.
On September 15, “three men broke into the home of a 33-year-old Venezuelan woman, threatening her with a firearm. They repeatedly beat her and tied her hands and feet, stealing various belongings, $1,500 in cash and bank cards which they forced her give them access.
“The attackers also stole two vehicles, a Toyota and an Audi. The latter was located and seized Friday during a search of the aforementioned property in Xelpac, Kanasin. As part of the operation, a suspect, Raúl Alberto “N” was arrested. He is accused of drug dealing in this state,” Yucatan authorities reported.
Authorities in Yucatan say they have handed Raúl Alberto “N” over to their counterparts in Quintana Roo to face charges.
