Piedras Negras, Coahuila.- The three narco-banners that appeared yesterday in Piedras Negras, denounced an alleged kidnapper and murderer of Gerardito Heath Sanchez, nephew of the 1st City Councilor, Guillermo Sanchez.
The young man who today would be 16 years of age, he was 15 when he disappeared in March of 2011 in the city of Piedras Negras Coahuila.
The narco-banners were placed on Roman Cepeda St with September 16th Ave [corner], one more in the Eliseo Mendoza Berruato Ave. across from the 11th Clinic of the Social Security Hospital, and the third on Hwy. 57 in Villa De Fuente on a curve known as “El Chagos”.
On the narco-banners appears a photograph of a subject that is singled out as the alleged kidnapper.
The mantas even make an appeal to elements of the Mexican Navy, where they point out that the alleged subject rides aboard units [vehicles] of the Federal Preventive Police acting as a “Madrina”[fake federal cop].
It also emphasizes of other actions [crimes] that this person has done, but this narco-banner has not been attributed to no [criminal] group.
After it was known [by GATE] about the placement of these narco-banners, elements of the Group of Special Weapons and Tactics [GATE] of the Secretariat of Public Security were involved on a chase on Constitution St. and Progreso St. in a neighborhood known as Colonia González, where three people traveling in a compact car managed to escape.
Three narco-banners as depicted in the first photo appeared yesterday at several points of Piedras Negras.
