Cancun Gang Arrests Linked to Grisly Murders

Six members of a drug gang in Cancun have been arrested for allegedly killing and dismembering five people with a machete, while three other victims were found in a shallow grave. The gang, involved in extortion, was protected by a network of motorcycle taxis and minors. Additionally, 23 people were arrested for operating a fake tour agency that served as a cover for drug sales. The arrests come after the recent shooting deaths of an American woman and a man from Belize in a dispute between drug dealers at a beach club in Tulum, south of Cancun. Violence and drug-related incidents continue to persist in Mexico's Caribbean coast state of Quintana Roo.
