**Six Municipal Officers Arrested and Released; Assigned to Administrative Duties**
On the morning of Thursday, October 24, state prosecutors took action against six intelligence officers from the municipal police force, executing arrest warrants due to alleged involvement in illegal detention. According to internal sources within Tijuana’s security department, the alleged crime took place in July of this year.
The officers identified in the investigation are Eduardo Herrera Alatorre, Isidro Ocampo García, Eduardo González Polanco, Raúl Delgado Alfaro, Daniel Lata Aro, José Merino Acosta, and Enrique Manuel Álvarez García. Sources suggest the officers were apprehended while performing their regular duties in the intelligence unit, without any resistance.
Despite the arrests, legal protections were in place for the officers, leading to their swift release. The incident in question reportedly occurred on July 4, when a local timber businessman and his son were allegedly kidnapped by the officers near their home in the Mariano Matamoros neighborhood, an event captured by security cameras.
The victims claimed they were tortured and coerced into paying 400,000 pesos for their release. Upon refusal, the officers allegedly entered the businessman’s home to steal cash that was kept there. Family members supposedly gathered money to meet the demands, after which the victims were released under threats of reprisal if they reported the ordeal.
While the case was under thorough investigation by state authorities, the orders for apprehension were executed, yet the officers were released due to the legal protections they had obtained. Tijuana’s Security Secretariat confirmed that upon their return, the officers would be reassigned to administrative roles pending further internal investigations and potential disciplinary actions.
