"El Peluche", Second in Command of "Los Cenobios" Oil Theft Ring, is Captured in Hidalgo

 "Redlogarythm" for Borderland Beat with special thanks to "Huaso" for the tip off


    On July 28th it was announced by the Public Security Secretariat of Hidalgo that during an operation that took part in two different communities of Cuauhtepec de Hinojosa -San Juan Hueyapan and Santa María Nativitas- and in which three houses were raided by elements of the State Public Prosecutor Office, the National Guard, the SEDENA and State police three individuals one of whom was identified by the initials H.A.M.A. During the raid authorities seized drugs, four vehicles -one of them being a Camaro sportive-, 18 tanks with capacity for 200 liters and 3,600 liters of combustible.

    Interestingly enough the individual known for the H.A.M.A. initials was identified by the alias of "El Peluche" who, it has been said, happens to be the second in command of Los Cenobios criminal group.

The three individuals captured during the operation, one of the two men-it hasn´t been possible whom- is El Peluche.

    Based in the municipality of Cuauhtepec de Hinojosa, in Hidalgo´s Southeastern region, Los Cenobios organization has been publicized during the last years as one of the area's most prolific criminal structure. Their portfolio has traditionally been is composed of intensive oil theft operations conducted over the Tuxpan-Tula pipeline but comprises drug retailing too -nothing surprising given the fact that most of the criminal groups operating in Hidalgo are no longer small cells of locals devoted to the depredation of the pipelines but well structured and even better armed conglomerates that buy drugs from bigger groups to sell them locally-.

    Once led by Marín Cenobio Chávez aka El Marino/El Pelón -identified in June 2020 as one of Hidalgo´s top 17 priority objectives and detained in August 2021- the organization was later led by El Marino´s brother Hugo Antonio Cenobio Chávez aka El Aries, who was detained in April 2023 and became famous after his capture was aired during one of AMLO´s "mañaneras".

    On June 20th 2022 the head of the SEDENA, Luís Crescencio Sandoval, confirmed during a "mañanera" the capture of Carlos N. aka "El Guille", another high ranking criminal boss of Los Cenobios.

    Another blow to the group came last month, on June 16th, when during a massive operation conducted simultaneously in the towns of Guadalupe Victoria, Centro, Santa María Nativitas, Jocoxpa and Texcatepec one of the bosses of Los Cenobios identified by the alias of El Juguete was captured. He was linked to at least 11 homicides in the area. At the time it was said that he was the leader of the group although the Cenobio brothers -El Marino and El Aries- are believed to be directing the group from inside prison.

    Cuauhtepec de Hinojosa is, after the municipalities of the Valle del Mezquital region of Western Hidalgo, the State ́s most vital point for the oil theft market. Even the former mayor, José Gerardo Olmedo, who vanished from earth in December 2022 and the town ́s current mayor Manuel Fermín Rivera Peralta, are part of the huachicol activities according to internal SEDENA reports.

    The history of the market for stolen oil in the State of Hidalgo is long and complicated and has been researched extensively in an investigative article published by Borderland Beat. What had traditionally been small and locally based groups of entrepreneurs that had worked under the yoke of Los Zetas during the early 2000s gained a notable degree of independence that helped them to establish contacts with other bigger criminal organizations -including major drug trafficking organizations from outer Hidalgo- to whom they started purchasing drugs to be distributed locally and high caliber weapons. The result has been a notable increase in the degree of violence while local and State authorities deny the existence of organized crime operating in Hidalgo, a region which has evolved to be Mexico's largest market for stolen oil.

      Have you ever seen a Yugo before? The only time you see a Yugo on the road is if it is being pushed, pulled or hauled. This one is on the back of a tow truck so it must be a Yugo.
      BTW, Yugos are great cars. Even Sicario 006 pushes a Yugo.

    2. I, as the author of the article, must say am not very surprised by the level showed by readers like you. More interested in the model of a mugroso car rather in what is happening in Hidalgo. Quien te conoce, papá?

    3. @red — don’t let these trolls bother you… they are meaningless NPCs in the end.

      The majority of us will always appreciate everything you do.

      It's a good article and your work is greatly appreciated. And as I have pointed out earlier, it's a Yugo.
