Officials from Mexico's Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) confirmed the arrest of a Cártel del Pacífico leader who is also the right-hand man of the security chief for "Los Chapitos," a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel engulfed in a war for control of the territory.
Members of Mexico's armed forces coordinated both aerial and ground attacks near the community of La Guamuchilera, Sinaloa, in which five suspects that carried large-caliber artillery were arrested last week.
