Search for the 11 individuals who went missing in Amozoc, Puebla; these individuals might have been enlisted by criminal organizations.

In a significant turn of events, a joint operation by military, naval, and police forces in the region of Puebla has led to several arrests, seizures, and the release of eleven individuals who were reported missing.

The operation, which took place during the New Year's weekend, resulted in the arrest of eleven individuals, ten of whom were apprehended in the La Concepción neighborhood for alleged drug trafficking. Multiple doses of crystal and ten people (8 men and 2 women) were seized during the operation.

Simultaneously, a white Toyota Hilux truck was found on the federal highway Puebla-Tehuacán, containing AR-15 and Glock firearms and ammunition. A man named Felipe N. was arrested in the Los Pinos neighborhood for health-related crimes and possession of a weapon.

The released individuals were initially reported missing after attending job offers on social media. It was later discovered that they had been deprived of their freedom to recruit them for criminal activities. Puebla's Attorney General, Idamis Pastor Betancourt, stated that the released individuals were likely in training or being forced to perform some criminal activity.

Six minors have been issued Amber Alerts due to a massacre of four people in Tabasco, where it is suspected that a six-year-old boy, a girl of the same age, and four teenagers were abducted by the suspected killer.

Envelopes containing a substance with characteristics of crystal were found at Felipe N.'s location. Additionally, multiple doses of crystal were seized from the La Concepción property.

The Attorney General also warned the public and young people against false job offers, stating they are lies and are used to recruit individuals through deceit for illegal activities.

Eleven people, previously reported missing in the Puebla municipality of Amozoc, have been released due to the pressure exerted by this massive operation. Initially, eight young people were released, and subsequently, three more arrived home on their own.

The operation for localization involved 197 elements from various authorities. However, further details regarding the specific name of the operational unit and the involved parties could not be determined with the given information.

This operation marks a significant step in the ongoing fight against crime in the Puebla region. The authorities continue to urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
