联邦警察专员Edgar Millan Gomez提供了这次搜捕行动的详细结果。

He said that the men arrested in the raids were all part of major drug trafficking organizations and that in the raids police had also seized large quantities of automatic weapons, grenades and other weapons that are illegal for private citizens to own in Mexico.

他说，在该行动中被抓获的都是些主要毒品交易组织的成员，并且警察也缴获了大量的自动武器、手榴弹以及其他墨西哥禁止普通市民拥有的非法武器。

The raids followed the arrest on Monday of (Alfredo Beltran Leyva), allegedly the key figure in the so-called (Sinaloa) cartel, which is considered the biggest and most powerful organized criminal group in Mexico. He was captured by the Mexican army in the state of Sinaloa, which is on Mexico's Pacific coast.

在此次搜捕之前，Sinaloa cartel组织最关键人物Alfredo Beltran Leyva周一遭到了逮捕，该组织是墨西哥最大、最有势力的有组织犯罪团体。他是在墨西哥太平洋沿岸的Sinaloa州被墨西哥军方抓获的。

The arrest drew immediate praise from US Ambassador to Mexico Tony (Garza), who said that when Mexico takes such criminals off the streets it also benifits the United States.

此次抓捕行动立即受到了美国驻墨西哥大使Tony Garza的称赞，他说，墨西哥政府对这些罪犯进行打击，对美国也很有益。

美国执法官员表示，大部分进入美国的可卡因、大麻以及其他非法毒品都是由墨西哥毒品交易组织提供的。
