Eduardo ‘S’, also known as ‘El Bebelín’, was arrested in Iztacalco, Mexico City, by officers from the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC). Authorities suspect that he is connected to the Anti Unión Tepito, a criminal group involved in drug trafficking and violence against rival factions. During his arrest, ‘El Bebelín’ was found in possession of possible illegal drugs and a firearm, indicating his involvement in serious crimes, particularly related to the narcomenudeo (small-scale drug dealing).

The arrest was prompted by a citizen complaint regarding individuals consuming alcohol outside a residential complex on Azúcar Avenue and Centeno Street in the Granjas México neighborhood. Upon arrival at the scene, police were approached by a woman who claimed that one of the men was threatening residents while asserting his membership in a criminal organization. This incident highlights ongoing safety concerns in neighborhoods where gang activity and related violence are prevalent.

The implications of this arrest may extend beyond just eliminating one individual from the streets, as it also underscores the ongoing power struggle between rival criminal groups in Mexico City. The Anti Unión Tepito's clashes with its rival, La Unión Tepito, have led to rising concerns about safety and security for the residents of affected neighborhoods. Law enforcement's efforts in making such arrests are critical in attempting to restore some level of order in areas plagued by gang violence.
