Mexican security forces have captured Ovidio Guzman, an alleged drug trafficker wanted by the US and one of the sons of former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, in a pre-dawn operation that set off gunfights and roadblocks across the western state’s capital.

Defence secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval said army and National Guard personnel had captured a son of “El Chapo”.
