Phoenix Police Rescue Drug Smuggler from Other Drug Smugglers

Phoenix police arrested six people suspected of kidnapping a 22-year-old woman whose family was linked to a group of drug-smugglers accused of running as much as 70 bales of marijuana into Arizona each week from Mexico.

Karely Sauceda had been missing since May 5. After a week of surveillance and negotiations for her release, members of the Phoenix Police Home Invasion Kidnapping Unit tracked the victim to a south Phoenix home, investigators said.

Sauceda was rescued about 7 a.m. Thursday from a home in the 7200 block of South 46th Lane, in a neighborhood northeast of Baseline Road and 51st Avenue.

Phoenix police arrested five adults and a 17-year-old male on suspicion of charges ranging from kidnapping and extortion to auto theft.

Police believe the group is linked to an April kidnapping of a drug-smuggling suspect who was held for a $500,000 ransom over a 1,300-pound marijuana debt, according to HIKE.

Sauceda was taken last week from her mother's home near Indian School Road and 56th Avenue after a group of armed men broke into the home demanding drugs and cash. They took Sauceda as her 17-year-old sister watched and protected an infant, police said.

Yes. I hope them coppers didn't ask if the kidnappers if they were in AZ legally. Could lose their jobs over that.
