The arrest occurred during patrols under the “Blindaje Cancun” operation in the Supermanzana 73 area. The State Prosecutor’s Office reported that the suspect was riding a motorcycle on CTM and Lombardo Toledano avenues when officers from the National Guard, Navy, Army, and Municipal Police stopped him for a preventive inspection.

During the search, authorities found several items and suspected illicit substances in Jair Alexis’s possession. He was turned over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office to determine his legal status.

Seized Items

Preliminary investigations indicate the suspect may be linked to several robberies in Cancun, primarily targeting women whom he allegedly intimidated using the replica firearm.
