MONTERREY, Nuevo Leon — A state cop in Nuevo Leon is asking for protection for his family after a team of Gulf Cartel gunmen raided his home and stole uniforms. The gunmen left a threatening message, saying they would be back.
The police officer, a member of Fuerza Civil, reached out to his supervisors for help after the attack, law enforcement sources revealed. Breitbart News is withholding the name and address for security reasons. Investigators believe the officer may be a target for kidnapping. Law enforcement sources revealed they are looking to see if the officer was targeted at random or if his work played direct a role in the attack.
The officer was not at home when a team of gunmen broke in. His wife found a message scrawled on a wall and their belongings on the floor.
“We will come for you later, we are hunting for you — CDG” the gunmen wrote.
The attack comes at the same time when Gulf Cartel gunmen shot the headquarters of Fuerza Civil in Garcia and ambushed a police vehicle in Cadereyta. The events injured three policemen. In recent weeks, Nuevo Leon authorities cracked down on various Gulf cells and the rival the Northeast Cartel. Both organizations are fighting for control of drug trafficking routes, local distribution, and the underground fuel market.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by Tony Aranda from Nuevo Leon.
