Puebla prosecutors arrest teen linked to La Familia Michoacana drug network

The State Attorney General's Office in Puebla detained 18‑year‑old Orlando Alexis N. after officers observed a suspected drug purchase‑sale in the Lomas Flor del Bosque neighborhood. Police seized several transparent bags containing dried green material identified as marijuana and placed the suspect under the custody of a public prosecutor.

Investigators say the arrest is connected to the criminal organization La Familia Michoacana, which is believed to operate in multiple colonies of the Puebla municipality and surrounding areas. The prosecutor's office indicated that the case remains open as authorities seek to identify additional participants and strengthen the evidence file.
