A young man from Cuba was caught in the act of stealing at a supermarket located in Cuautlancingo, a municipality in Puebla, Mexico, and was subsequently arrested by law enforcement, as reported by local media.
The Cuautlancingo Department of Citizen Security and Civil Protection took Félix “N”, a 20-year-old, into custody for committing theft in broad daylight at a branch of the Chedraui retail chain.
Store employees noticed the individual taking merchandise and promptly alerted the police officers.
Following his arrest, the supermarket opted not to file a formal complaint against the suspect. Authorities stated that since the individual entered the country illegally, he was handed over to the National Institute of Migration (INM), which will handle the legal procedures for his deportation.
Reports indicate that Félix “N” has been residing in Mexico for approximately two years, having previously worked as a waiter at a nightclub in the state of Hidalgo before recently relocating to Puebla.
The government of Cuautlancingo has emphasized its collaboration with the INM to identify foreign nationals in irregular immigration situations who commit offenses within the municipality.
