Mexicans Say Gang Crushed by Arrests

MEXICO CITY - A gang that has forced women into prostitution in Mexico and the United States has been crushed by a series of arrests, Mexican officials said Monday.

Federal agents arrested six people in Mexico and were hunting for at least six other people, the federal Interior Department said in a news release.

The department, which oversees security and immigration matters, said the gang seduced or kidnapped girls and women aged 12 to 25, raped them and then forced them to work as prostitutes in the central Mexican cities of Puebla and Tenancingo.

Some were later taken to the United States for prostitution there.
