Prosecutors arrested Óscar “N” in Zumpango over two alleged extortion cases in Ecatepec, including one with an outstanding rearrest warrant.
Reporting and context
Authorities in the State of Mexico arrested Óscar “N” in Zumpango in connection with two alleged extortion cases in Ecatepec, according to Tribuna Sonora. The state prosecutor’s office identifies him as a suspected member of Los 300 and a priority target of Operación Restitución.
Tribuna Sonora reported that the cases concern separate victims and incidents in March 2024 and August 2025. In the first, investigators allege that Óscar and other men approached a street vendor, identified themselves as members of Los 300 and demanded weekly payments. They allegedly threatened to force her from her home if she refused.
In the second case, prosecutors say he arrived at another victim’s home with two companions, threatened the occupant with a firearm and demanded that they leave. He also allegedly demanded the property documents and the victim’s voter identification card.
The first case had already led to an arrest in February 2026. A judge initially declined to send it forward to trial proceedings, but prosecutors appealed. An appellate court reversed that decision, allowing the case to proceed in April. Óscar allegedly missed a hearing that month, prompting a warrant for his rearrest.
The separate warrant in the August 2025 case led to his current imprisonment. Authorities also notified him in prison of the rearrest warrant from the earlier case. His legal status remains before the judicial authority; the report says a conviction could carry up to 70 years in prison for each incident.
The arrest brought Operación Restitución’s total to 61 detained priority targets, the outlet reported. The program seeks to return unlawfully occupied properties to their owners. Prosecutors describe Los 300 as operating principally in the northern State of Mexico, including Ecatepec, Tecámac and Nezahualcóyotl.
