State police, Guerrero’s state prosecutor’s office and the Mexican Army arrested two men during security patrols in the Altos del Miramar neighbourhood of Acapulco on 31 October 2026.[1] The detainees were named as Samuel “N” and Kevin “N”, the abbreviated form Mexican police use in place of surnames.[1]

Officers seized a pistol, three magazines and ammunition of various calibres.[1] The state police counted 34 small bags of dried herb with characteristics similar to marijuana, 24 bags of white powder similar to cocaine, and 50 more bags of various substances and pills whose composition is still to be determined.[1]

Quadratín Guerrero reported that both men were placed at the disposal of the authorities.[2] The Guerrero Public Security Secretariat said the patrols formed part of inter-institutional work to prevent crime and respond to citizens’ reports, and it urged residents to call 911 or the 089 anonymous tip line.[1] The two are presumed innocent until a court rules on their responsibility.[1]
