La Fiscalía General de Justicia de la Ciudad de México detuvo a Luis 'N', quien allegedly committed express kidnapping against a motorist to extort him, adding two more linkages to process for similar crimes and linking him to six other similar events using the 'Flat Tire' modus operandi. The Mexico City Prosecutor's Office detected the same mode of operation committed by a group of people, including Luis N, in different forms. 'The CDMX Prosecutor's Office continues the investigations to determine the possible relationship of the defendant with other reported facts and to identify all the people who would have participated in these events,' the agency indicated. On March 30, a motorist driving through the Roma Norte neighborhood in Cuauhtémoc was deceived into believing he had a damaged tire. When he stopped, Luis 'N' got in, retained him and asked for around 180 thousand pesos in transfers and gift card purchases from a department store. After keeping him illegally deprived of his liberty, capital police arrived to rescue him in Polanco, Miguel Hidalgo mayor's office, where Luis 'N' was arrested. Following the apprehension of the Peruvian-born man, it was discovered that in 2024, he allegedly participated in two similar incidents. One on May 28, 2024 in the Magdalena de las Salinas neighborhood, Gustavo A. Madero mayor's office, where he allegedly demanded 98 thousand pesos from two victims to release them. Of that amount, 43,200 pesos were transferred to a bank account in Luis 'N's name and the rest delivered in three gift cards. The other incident occurred on June 6, 2024 in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood, in the mayor's office with the same name, where a victim delivered 8 thousand pesos in cash and then transferred 39 thousand pesos to an account in Luis 'N's name. Based on evidence data, two arrest warrants were obtained and in court he was linked to process for both cases, preventive detention was ordered and three months were given to close the investigation. Likewise, a similar pattern was identified in six more cases where victims were deceived with a false mechanical failure to make them stop, then deprived them of their liberty and forced them to transfer money, make deposits or purchase gift cards, the FGJ indicated.
