Police officers in Juarez, Mexico, have arrested two teenagers accused of holding four Jordanian migrants captive for a month, time during which the victims were reportedly threatened with a loaded shotgun. Investigations suggest the migrants were likely being held by smugglers who had hired the teenagers to watch over them.
The arrests took place this week in a home in the Campesina neighborhood, southeast of downtown Juarez. Police responded to a 911 call from concerned neighbors who reported unusual activity at the residence. According to a municipal police report, officers approached the house and saw individuals inside signaling for help.
