After the day of attacks and narco-blockades reported in various points of the state of Guanajuato, the state Public Security Secretariat (SSP) confirmed the arrest of three men accused of being members of organized crime.
Although the institution did not reveal the identities or aliases of the individuals arrested, it confirmed that it was as a result of this operation that the criminal group to which they belonged – without specifying – responded with violence.
According to the official version, it all began when a convoy of state agents carried out surveillance patrols in the San Antonio de los Morales in the municipality of Juventino Rosas. There, the officers noticed the presence of an SUV-type vehicle carrying armed civilians who, upon seeing the police, fired at them.
The security agents repelled the attack and initiated a pursuit that ended in the same community when the vehicle of the apparent hitmen stopped its march.
“Once the perimeter was secured and the now arrested, diverse calibers of ammunition, a firearm, various calibers of magazines, drugs and the vehicle were also secured,” the corporation reported without offering specific details of the seizure.
As a result, other possible members of the same criminal structure mobilized to generate acts of violence on different road stretches.
According to the official count, car fires and shooting stars were recorded in the Yustis community of Celaya, as well as in the La Providencia neighborhood of the same municipality, on State Road 67 near Franco Tavera, in Juventino Rosas and the Santiago de Cuenda community.
Likewise, the SSP reported that a truck was set on fire on Highway 45 in the stretch connecting Celaya to Salamanca at the return of Villagran.
In addition to this, it was confirmed that fireman Felipe Jiménez Sánchez was a victim of a armed attack which ended his life when he was on his way to attend a fire.
The series of roadblocks and aggressions brought to memory the modus operandi that characterizes the region’s Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL), and some preliminary reports pointed to the possible detention of a high-ranking leader of this group. Nevertheless, the authorities have not shared any statement in this regard.
