Cancún, Mexico — A joint operation conducted by municipal, state, and federal authorities on Wednesday at a ranch along the federal highway between Cancún and Leona Vicario resulted in the rescue of two kidnapping victims and the discovery of two deceased bodies.
Operation Launched Following Armed Suspects Report
