Police from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) in Mexico City have apprehended a suspected drug dealer operating in the Venustiano Carranza borough. The arrest is part of a broader security strategy aimed at combating drug sales in local neighborhoods. The suspect, identified as Arturo 'N', was allegedly using a credit card terminal to process transactions for narcotics, which highlights a modern approach to illicit drug sales.

The operation revealed that the dealer was using an unconventional delivery method—drugs were handed to customers through a window using a bucket and rope, suggesting a level of sophistication and caution in avoiding direct confrontation. This method not only demonstrates the lengths that drug dealers will go to maintain their business but also raises concerns about public safety in residential areas. The arrest of Arturo 'N' was made alongside an accomplice, Ricardo 'N', further indicating a network of individuals involved in these activities.

This incident underscores the challenges law enforcement faces in combating drug trafficking in urban settings where such innovative methods are employed. As authorities continue to clamp down on drug sales via targeted operations, the effectiveness of these strategies will be critical in ensuring the safety and security of the community. The involvement of credit transaction systems in such criminal activities also posits a future where policing strategies might have to adapt to include financial institutions as allies in the fight against drug trafficking.
