Mexican authorities have carried out a series of raids while investigating the attempted assassination of Mexico City's police chief, according to local media.

Omar García Harfuch was shot several times during an ambush on Friday, though his injuries are not said to be life-threatening.

Two of his bodyguards and a female passerby were killed.

The attack is believed to be linked to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Police said cocaine was found during raids on three locations, according to El Universal newspaper on Saturday.

Mr García Harfuch - who was shot in the shoulder, collar bone and the knee - tweeted after the attack, laying the blame on the cartel. "Our nation must continue to confront the cowardly organised crime," he wrote.

Attacked by 28 people, shot multiple times and he is going to live.
