Cartel Henchman Nabbed at Baja 500 Tech Inspection
http://www.laht.com/article.asp?ArticleId=336696&Categor...
TIJUANA, Mexico – The Mexican army has captured Bernardo Cristobal Arellano, alias “El Morete,” henchman of the drug cartel of the Arellano Felix
brothers, while he was at the Score Baja 500 car races in Ensenada, Baja California, according to military officials.
The military said that “El Morete” was nabbed Friday in an operation coordinated with the authorities of this state bordering on the United States
after being tipped off by an anonymous phone call.
They said that his capture took place while the cars competing in the sporting event were having a mechanical checkup.
Arellano Mejia worked directly with Raydel Rosalio Lopez Uriarte, alias “El Muletas,” with whom he coordinated the movement of drugs to the United
States and whom he supplied with arms and vehicles.
The man in custody is related to Jorge Humberto Acosta Gallegos, alias “El Leches,” in charge of the operation in Tecate, who worked with the head of
another cell of the Arellano Felix cartel, previously known as the Tijuana cartel, and with Teodoro Garcia Semental, alias “El Teo” or “Tres Letras.”
“El Morete” is under investigation for the murder of three police officers of the Tecate municipality.
When “El Morete” was nabbed, the military seized small amounts of marijuana and crystal from him, along with a pistol and a short machine gun, two
bullet clips, 17 caliber 9mm shells, $21 and an SUV.
“El Morete” was brought to the installations of Tijuana’s Morelos Barracks.

Mexican authorities arrested Bernardo Cristobal Arellano Mejia Saturday.
He is reportedly a brother in the Arrellano Felix drug cartel. He was getting ready to participate in the Baja 500 off road race in Ensenada at the
time of his arrest. Known as El Morete, the suspect is reportedly in charge of purchasing vehicles and weapons in the United States, and transporting
them to the cartel in Baja California.
He is also allegedly part of the drug smuggling activities in the Tecate area. With most of the Arrellano Felix family behind bars, the cartel is
currently run by Teodoro Garcia Simental.
The 41st Score Tecate Baja 500 was eventually won by NASCAR driver Robby Gordon.
