Autodefensas Detain Sicario Along With Army Lieutenant.
This story, on Borderland Beat, 1/27/16 is a translation of a story that originally appeared in Proceso: Detectan comunitarios a presunto Viagra acompañando a un teniente del Ejército on 1/26/16.
"The Community Police of Tepalcatepec, Michoacán spotted a subject, an alleged member of the criminal group Los Viagras, disguised as a Mexican Military Soldier and who was also accompanied by a lieutenant of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).
Both were arrested by comunitarios (community members) while they were aboard a cloned Mexican Military vehicle with serial number: 3317356... . "
The "community members" belonged to "Autodefensas" a group of fairly average Mexican citizens in Michoacán who have gotten together to stand up to the cartels. They are somewhere between vigilantes and Websleuthers, and seem to have had a real impact.
* Sicario = an ancient Roman term that essentially translates as "enforcer" or "hit man", and the name of a movie about contemporary crime in Mexico.
