translated from Spanish: 4 CDMX cops arrested after assaulting and removing weapons from inspectors

Four Mexico City police officers were arrested for assaulting and even removing a gun from inspectors who came to address a report of alleged illegal operatives to detain vehicles and extort drivers.
“The Internal Affairs staff of the SSC, were notified that in the colony San Felipe de Jesús, on the boundaries of the mayoralty Gustavo A. Madero with the State of Mexico, there was a unit of the Pradera sector that stopped vehicles apparently for no reason, so he asked the operators of the C-2 North Control and Command Center to support with monitoring in the area, while they were presenting the place,” the Security Secretariat said, in a statement.
“Once they arrived at the point of reference, the policemen in the sector had arrested the crew members of a car, so The Staff of Pretores requested the latest report from the Pradera sector to corroborate their actions in the face of the facts. However, the uniforms began to struggle and assault the supervisors, who requested support for their radio frequency to stop the troops because of their likely lack of police protocols,” he added.
More elements of Police Inspection, as well as staff from the Pradera sector, “with whom after a stoneware, security was restored” and the four elements were then arrested.
“The detained officers were also singled out of taking an inspector’s firearm, and causing eye and face injuries to both supervisors, who were cared for by medical personnel with the diagnosis of frontal concussion and laceration,” the Secretariat said.
“The four prairie policemen, involved in the events, were transferred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office in the Prosecutor’s Office for the Investigation of Crimes Committed by Public Servants, for their likely involvement in injuries and abuse of authority,” he added.
