Officers from the Criminal Investigation Agency and the Office of the Attorney General (PGR) released a person kept in a cave by a gang operating in the municipalities of Ixtapan de la Sal and Coatepec de las Harinas, in the State of Mexico.
The head of the Special Unit for the Investigation of Kidnappings, Gualberto Ramírez Gutiérrez, and his colleague from the Agency for Criminal Investigations, Salvador Cano Muñoz, reported the arrest of two kidnappers, who kept their victims in chains.
Due to the kidnapping on February 6, 2015, of a local 30-year-old businessman in Ixtapa, the authorities enacted geolocalization systems and the intervention of communications associated with the case.
In the follow-up of the investigations, the authorities learned of another kidnapping last January 25, with the suspects demanding more than US$81,000 dollars after initially asking for close to US$270,000.
The detainees were identified as 46-year-old Ignacio, from Chilpancingo, and Gabriel Rodríguez Dolores, from Acatepec. Both were in charge of taking care of the victims and picking up their ransoms.
Rodríguez Dolores has been in prison before, from 2003 to 2006, for undisclosed crimes.
They were found in possession of a weapon, radio equipment, and a vehicle.
