The father-in-law and brother-in-law of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, alleged leader of "Los Chapitos," were arrested in an operation involving two raids in Zapopan.

The Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection reported this Tuesday afternoon that, in coordination with the Attorney General's Office and the Mexican Army, they raided two residences in the Bajío de Zapopan and Vallarta Universidad neighborhoods.

There, they arrested Mario Alfredo L., 44, alias "Siete," the brother-in-law and financial operator of Iván Archivaldo G., known as "El Chapito," and Mario L., 69, alias "Niño," also identified as a financial operator and the father-in-law of the same leader of that criminal group.

Authorities seized seven bags of drugs, four handguns, ammunition, magazines, two SUVs and a luxury vehicle, a motorcycle, cell phones, and cash.

In another operation carried out in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, members of these law enforcement agencies arrested Carlos Gabriel R., 37, also known as "Pollo," the leader of a criminal cell known as Los Jordán, linked to the Los Chapitos faction of the Pacific or Sinaloa Cartel. Jesús Arturo, 40, was also arrested.

Carlos Gabriel has at least three outstanding arrest warrants for aggravated homicide.  Authorities seized two firearms, a bag of drugs, radio communication equipment, and a vehicle.
