Guadalajara municipal police arrested Pablo “N”, 33, and Ana Gabriela “N”, 36, in the colonia Moderna neighbourhood.[1] The two were wearing Halloween costumes, with the woman described as dressed as “La Guasona”, when officers stopped them on Saturday afternoon for allegedly trying to rob a business.[2] The man’s specific costume character was not specified.[2] The stop occurred on Avenida Enrique Díaz de León between Fermín Riestra and Avenida Alemania, where officers of the Grupo Lobos motorcycle squad were patrolling.[1] Officers on a vigilance patrol detected the pair manipulating the shop’s locks and entry structure with industrial cutting shears.[1]

When police approached, the pair abandoned the tools on the sidewalk and tried to flee on foot, but the motorcycle squad intercepted them a few metres away.[1] A precautionary search recovered the shears and six packets containing dry green vegetable with the characteristics of marijuana.[1] The pair allegedly also carried burglary tools plus several packets of marijuana.[2] Both were formally detained and referred to a Public Ministry agent to determine their legal status for alleged attempted robbery and offences against health.[1]
