Fuerza Civil reported that the three detainees are believed to be connected to the same criminal group and are allegedly linked to acts of violence in the region. Three men, identified as suspected members of a criminal group and considered to be instigators of violence, were arrested during two separate operations carried out in the municipalities of General Treviño and Doctor González. The first arrest by Fuerza Civil took place on the Nueva Ciudad Guerrero–General Treviño highway, where officers apprehended 27-year-old Erasmo “N.” Authorities allegedly found the detainee in possession of packages containing marijuana and crystal meth, as well as cash and mobile phones. In a second operation—on the road leading to the Los Ángeles *ejido* (communal land settlement), at the junction with Highway 54 (Monterrey–Ciudad Mier)—officers arrested 34-year-old Darinel “N.” and 32-year-old Eduardo “N.” According to the police report, the two men were caught in the act of allegedly throwing various objects onto the ground and attempting to flee. During this intervention, the officers seized four firearm magazines, 120 rounds of ammunition, and 23 metal objects consistent with tire-puncturing devices (*ponchallantas*). Fuerza Civil stated that all three detainees are believed to be connected to the same criminal group and are allegedly linked to acts of violence in the region. The men have been placed at the disposal of state and federal prosecutors—as applicable—to determine their legal status and to facilitate further investigation.
