Taco Vendor Kidnapped by Armed Commandos in Quintana Roo

Armed Commandos Kidnap Taco Vendor in Quintana Roo Community

An armed commando deprived a taco vendor of his liberty in the community of Tuzik, belonging to the municipality of Felipe Carrillo Puerto, during Monday night, generating alarm among the area’s inhabitants and a police operation that yielded no positive results.

According to initial reports, the events occurred around 11:30 p.m., when six subjects armed with long weapons, dressed in black and wearing insignias alluding to the Army and the State Attorney General’s Office, violently broke into a residence in the community. From inside, they forcibly removed Olegario Santos Aké, 45 years old and a taco vendor by trade, forcing him into a black vehicle before fleeing to an unknown destination.

They Pretended to Carry Out an Official Errand

Relatives of the victim indicated that the individuals claimed they had to take the man to carry out a supposed errand, without showing documents or providing official information, which suggests they posed as authorities to commit the illegal deprivation of liberty.

After the “kidnapping,” neighbors in Tuzik requested support through the emergency number, so minutes later, elements of the Felipe Carrillo Puerto Municipal Police arrived, who carried out the initial procedures at the scene.

Search Operation Without Results

Upon confirming the illegal deprivation of liberty, the agents implemented a search operation in the community and surrounding areas to try to locate those responsible and the victim. However, after more than half an hour, the operation was suspended after obtaining no favorable results.

Subsequently, the authorities urged the relatives of Olegario Santos Aké to go to the State Attorney General’s Office, central zone, to file the corresponding complaint and allow the Investigative Police to continue with the inquiries to locate his whereabouts and clarify the events.
