They are looking for three young people from Nuevo León who were “lifted up” in Sinaloa

The Sinaloa authorities are conducting an investigation into the disappearance of three tourists from the state of Nuevo León, after an armed command, composed of about 20 men wearing military or police clothing, took them from a condominium located in the city of Mazatlán, where were housed.

According to the Attorney General of the State, Sara Bruna Quiñonez, the events took place in the early hours of last Sunday in a condominium in the Sabalo Country Fraccionamiento, the same day they were reported, but she denied that police were involved in the events.

“It was mentioned that patrols had been intervened, that was not the case, the complainant never said it, no police corporation participated, except the Prosecutor's Office,” he clarified.

According to the collective Por Las Voces Sin Justicia, the three young people were deprived of their liberty by an armed group and municipal police, while it disseminated the search form of the three people from Nuevo León.

While on social networks it is noted that those responsible for the deprivation of the three young men arrived in a patrol car, a Patriot van, a white GMC Sierra and a gray Colorado van, from which “men armed with hoods came down, started beating them and taping them up and taking them away.”

Quiñonez Estrada pointed out that the father of one of the young men also came to file a complaint, who ignored the causes of the event.

“He didn't really contribute much, he even says he didn't know that his son had gone to the city of Mazatlan, that since Thursday of Easter I didn't know about him and because he couldn't give us any information,” he said.

The Prosecutor asserted that all data is being followed and telephone traces are being carried out.

“It is said that people were looking for a specific one of them, who managed to escape before being deprived of liberty,” he said.

Through social networks, relatives of Carlos Daniel Garza Rocha, 22 years old; Pablo Leonel Palomo Arredondo, 29, and Eduardo Albertho Costilla Santiago, 26, said that the young men went on vacation to Mazatlan on board a black GMC Sierra van, which was apparently stolen by the armed men who they took the young people out of the apartment they rented.

One of the versions of the young people's relatives states that elements of the Municipal Police have participated in the youth “uprising”.

In an interview with a local media outlet, the governor of Sinaloa, Rubén Rocha Moya dismissed the version and assured that there was no evidence of uniformed participation.
