As a result of inter-institutional coordination efforts, in Chihuahua, members of the National Defense Secretariat (Defensa) and the National Guard (GN), along with the Navy Secretariat (Semar), the Attorney General's Office (FGR), and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), arrested 11 members of a criminal cell, including Roberto “N,” the main instigator of violence in the region.

The officers, who were conducting ground patrols in the town of El Pueblito, in the municipality of Aldama, were attacked with gunfire. Seeing their physical safety threatened, they returned fire and brought the situation under control.

As a result, Roberto González Hernández, alias “El 04” or “El 02,” was arrested, along with ten other individuals linked to a criminal group operating in the region. Authorities also seized 11 long guns, two machine guns, two Barrett rifles, three vehicles, various explosive devices, and a drone.

Roberto “N” is part of a criminal cell and is considered one of the main instigators of violence in the municipalities of Aldama, Coyame del Sotol, and Manuel Benavides in the state of Chihuahua. He is also a likely perpetrator of confrontations between rival groups in Ojinaga.

He is also subject to an extradition order from the United States and is identified as a priority target by the Mexican government.

The detainees were informed of their legal rights and, along with the seized items, were turned over to the appropriate Public Prosecutor, who will determine their legal status and compile the case file.

The institutions of the Security Cabinet reaffirm their commitment to contributing to strengthening security in the country, acting in a coordinated manner and in strict adherence to human rights.
