4 Arrested in Cancún for Card Cloning and Drug Crimes

Cancún, Mexico — A police operation conducted by agents of the State Police in Cancún’s Supermanzana 221 resulted in the arrest of four individuals allegedly involved in both drug trafficking and a bank card cloning network, according to official sources.

Police Operation Follows Citizen Tip

The intervention occurred at the intersection of Calle 82 and Calle 93 after authorities received a report about a suspicious vehicle. Upon arrival, officers from the Cancún Secretariat of Citizen Security located the described vehicle and conducted an inspection.

During the search, authorities discovered 81 small bags containing a dry herb consistent with marijuana in the suspects’ possession. The four detainees—identified as Juan Vicente “N,” John Alex “N,” Mariana “N,” and Ana Rebecca “N”—were initially arrested for drug-related offenses under Mexico’s narcomenudeo laws.

Additional Charges for Financial Fraud

The investigation took a new turn when approximately 50 bank and department store cards were found inside the glove compartment of their white Chevrolet Aveo. This discovery prompted authorities to open a separate investigation into financial fraud.

Additional seized items included two cell phones, a black bag, a red bag with white lettering, and various branded accessories, which may be linked to a broader criminal operation.

Legal Proceedings Underway

The suspects were handed over to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office Combating Drug Trafficking. However, authorities have not ruled out expanding the investigation to include charges related to financial crimes and misuse of personal data.

The case remains under review as officials determine the full scope of the suspects’ alleged activities.

Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
