Jalisco cartel leader found hiding in ditch after tracked down by special forces

Dramatic footage shows the moment a top Jalisco cartel leader was found hiding in a ditch after being tracked down by Mexican special forces. Audias Flores, dubbed 'The Gardener', was captured on Monday after a huge military operation. Videos shared by Mexico's security minister show helicopters circling overhead as troops close in, with aerial footage capturing the search from above. His companions attempted to scatter to draw attention away, but Flores was spotted as he tried to conceal himself in a drainage ditch. The operation followed 19 months of surveillance and involved more than 500 soldiers, six helicopters and multiple aircraft. Mexican authorities said two high-level criminals were arrested in the raid, including Flores, a close ally of the slain founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
