Five Alleged Chapiza Kidnappers Arrested in Sonora With An SUV That Can Deploy Tire Spikes

"HEARST" for Borderland Beat


Five alleged Chapiza hitmen who kidnapped a doctor in Obregón, Sonora, were arrested. Authorities found in their possession a customized, armored SUV which was equipped with mechanisms to deploy tire spikes and oil. 



Kidnappers Get Raided By Police 


On November 23, 2022, a doctor and another individual, whose identity was not revealed, were abducted in the city of Obregón, in the state of Sonora, by a group of armed cartel hitmen. 

The exact abduction location is unknown, but his relatives told police that he was last seen at a car wash in the Casa Blanca neighborhood of the city.


A day after the victims were abducted, their relatives realized they were missing and filed a report with police who began investigating the kidnapping. They quickly zero-ed in on a suspicious house in the same neighborhood where the victims went missing. 



Later that same day, the kidnappers and the authorities surveilling the property got into a shootout. A video of the incident, shown below, features a person yelling out “Don’t shoot here, there are children!”

After the shooting concluded,  police officers and soldiers surrounded the perimeter while the state Attorney General’s Office (FGE) requested a search warrant for the property. A judge approved the search warrant and on November 25, 2022, agents from the FGE raided the house. 




Inside they found the two victims, five kidnappers, and a number of firearms. The victims were quickly freed and given a medical check. Multiple news articles say the victims were found “safe and sound”, so it's presumed that the victims did not suffer any serious injuries while in captivity. 


The five kidnappers are:


José Luis "N.", 22 years old


Martín Adolfo "N.", 49 years old


Ramón Jesús "N.", 22 years old


Cruz Abraham "N.", 19 years old


Jesús Guillermo "N.", 31 years old


Jesús Guillermo is currently receiving medical treatment at a hospital due to the “dislocation of a prosthetic.” 


The cartel news Twitter account CalvarieLocus alleges that the kidnappers are all cartel members working under Los Chapitos (Chapiza), reporting under Óscar Martínez Larios, alias “El Gabito”. To read up on Gabito's criminal history, please see this previous story



One of the most intriguing aspects of this story is the equipment these kidnappers appeared to be.  If CalvarieLocus is correct about the affiliation of these hitmen, then it's likely the men are originally from the state of Sinaloa and are freshly-arrived in the area, with a kit of Gabito-funded equipment. 


In the house’s garage, they found a white Chevrolet Tahoe SUV which the FGE press release said had “attachments to carry firearms” and “mechanisms to launch tire spikes and oil”. It was also specially customized with armor so it could sustain bullet impacts. 



Investigators found the kidnappers were in possession of five firearms, one of which had a grenade launcher attachment, and corresponding ammo. They also found three cell phones, two radios and five tactical vests, which appear in photos to not have ballistic plates. 



Two motorcycles, a black Italika model BM250 and a red Italika model FT125 were seized from the property. Also seized from their possession were items like the doctor’s stolen wallet, which may speak to the motive of the crime.

    1. Thank you! Very interesting that they paid for them to have the narco version of a batmobile but they aren't willing to pay for the hitmen to have ballistic plates for their vests.

    2. @Hearst thanks for the article, the Cartels treat their foot soldiers the same way the USAF and CIA....

      Remember Afghanistan and Iraq??? When US soldiers were sent to the front lines without body armor or plates.... ????

    3. 8:06 your totally bogus, I served 2 tours, in the middle east, made it to Sergeant , all soldiers are issued the proper equipment, body armor. Apparently it appears you have a grudge and will smear the military, with false information.

    4. 9:18 "you have the army you have, not the army you want"
      Said DoD Sec Donal' Runsfeld after some troops complained about shortcomings on all fronts...
      I agree with the Secretary, but the secretary would never agree with me about the greedy private contraitors of war on all fronts that put down and aside the real service members to steal from the US Treasury.

    5. 8:06 I agree with 9:18. We had the weapons, gear, and steel plates in our vests.
      The biggest oversight that was corrected soon for our unit was bottom armor on hummers and other transport vehicles.

    6. Ask the turkey commandos in Syria how the US soldiers are more of nuisance in the front so they move y’all in the back because in the frontline you weren’t effective at all

  3. Too ''flashy'' of a set up on that Tahoe to patrol on a everyday basis. You can tell from far that it is armored and who else what else. People around a cow-town will report that fast.

  10. How nice the alleged kidnappers get their faces blocked and their last names, not shown, yet when they are convicted, they still hide faces and names. Mexico law thinks in old ways.

  16. Just because it was a doctor they moved and just happened to locate him? What if it had a been a regular person who works in a factory or sells tacos to support his family? They wouldn't have moved their lazy scared rear ends.
