Mexican police have arrested one of the country\'s most sought-after suspected drugs bosses.
Gregorio Sauceda Gamboa was arrested during a raid at a house in the city of Matamoros, near the US border.
He is accused of being one of the kingpins of the notorious Los Zetas drugs gang, the armed wing of the Mexican Gulf Cartel.
Earlier this month the US government placed Los Zetas on its list of suspected drug syndicates.
Correspondents say Los Zetas is made up of hitmen and former police officers.
It’s activities range from drugs and human trafficking to prostitution rackets, and gang members are renowned for beheading their rivals.
Police consider 44-year-old Gamboa, to be a founder of the gang.
