Mexico City citizen-security officers detained four alleged members of La Unión
Tepito in colonia Morelos in Venustiano Carranza.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]The detainees were a
24-year-old man, women aged 54 and 24, and a 16-year-old girl.[9][4][6]The
detainees were identified as Pedro “N”, Jovita “N” and Jessica “N”, plus the
16-year-old girl, allegedly linked to the group’s street-level drug dealing.[10][8][11]
Officers spotted a man handling a bag with drugs at the streets Carpintería and
Mineros.[1]The man ran into a tenement in the same area after noticing the
police.[1]Officers entered the common area and saw three more people handling
other wrappers.[1]Officers seized about 3,000 paper wrappers containing
suspected cocaine.[1][8]Officers also seized 25 transparent plastic bags holding
about 15 kilograms of apparent marijuana, plus eight mobile phones of different

The four were told their constitutional rights and taken with what was seized to
the Public Prosecutor’s agent, who will open the investigation file and decide
their legal situation.[9][5]A data cross-check showed the 24-year-old had two
2025 admissions to Mexico City’s prison system for health crimes in the form of
street-level drug dealing.[10][6]

Open questions the AI reported
No weight is given for the roughly 3,000 suspected cocaine wrappers, so only the marijuana weight is counted and no combined drug total is used.
The sources give full surnames only as Guzmán or “N”; the minor is not named.
No charges or court outcome are reported beyond presentation to the Public Prosecutor's agent.
The Libertad Oaxaca page reproduces the same Secretariat of Citizen Security statement as the outlets already cited, so it is not independent reporting of the arrest and gives no fresh figure for the plants, kilograms or area involved.
