Suspected drug crew abducted in Mexico

Eight armed men abducted six or seven suspected members of the Sinaloa drug cartel from a restaurant in the heart of Mexico’s Pacific tourist resort of Puerto Vallarta early on Monday morning, the state attorney general said.

Local authorities say the victims were seized around on Monday from a restaurant in the resort town.

Jalisco attorney general Eduardo Almaguer said the men who were abducted were believed to be members of the Sinaloa cartel, one of Mexico’s most feared drug smuggling gangs, which was led by Joaquin ‘Chapo’ Guzman until his capture in January.
