Joint operation against alleged CJNG members in the Northern Zone. In Benito Juárez, Quintana Roo, authorities from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) and the Navy arrested Marcos Josué “N” and Ángel Roberto “N,” alias El Flaco, for alleged drug trafficking and violations of the Federal Firearms Law. The operation took place after observing a drug exchange in a public area, with thwarted escape attempts. The SSC reported that Marcos Josué “N” coordinated weapons logistics in Benito Juárez, Puerto Morelos, Kantunilkín, and Isla Mujeres. Our news outlet contacted security experts who agree that this action demonstrates state coordination and operational capacity against criminal groups. We spoke with residents of Benito Juárez, who emphasized that these measures generate greater confidence in local security.
