Reporting and context
Municipal police in Durango arrested two women and a man after a truck driver accused them of taking his wallet and returning to demand more money under threats of abduction, according to Notigram, which cited the municipal Public Security Directorate (DMSP).
The driver told authorities he was parked near a business in the city’s Zona Centro neighborhood before dawn, waiting to unload goods. Two women approached offering sexual services. When he said he could not open the truck door, one allegedly threatened him to gain access.
In the account published by Notigram, two women and a man then entered the truck, took his wallet and left. About an hour later, they allegedly returned demanding additional cash and threatening to abduct him. The driver said they claimed to belong to a criminal group; the report did not identify that group or establish the claimed affiliation.
Notigram reported that the driver sought help from nearby municipal officers after another demand for money. Police detained María “N”, 29, Maritza “N”, 34, and Emanuel “N”, 41, all from Durango.
The three were handed over to the competent authority to determine their legal status and investigate the complaint. The source gives no amount allegedly taken or demanded and describes arrests rather than a court ruling.
