Cuban man arrested in Cancún for alleged robbery at a notary office: This is what the police found

The Cancun Police arrested Yoanki "N", a 36-year-old Cuban citizen, last Wednesday for his alleged involvement in a robbery at a notary's office located in Supermanzana 4 of the area.

According to the official statement from the Cancun Police, the arrest occurred in response to a call to the emergency number.

Upon arriving at the property, the agents detected damage to the doors and furniture, and located the suspect inside the premises.

During the inspection, a backpack, a metal rod, a cap, and cash, among other evidence, were seized from him.

Among the evidence, a T-shirt featuring the "KANAN - Private Security" logo was also found, according to the visual analysis of the images released by the corporation.

The detainee and all the secured items were placed at the disposal of the relevant authorities "for the necessary investigations and proceedings," according to the official statement.

The statement includes the presumption of innocence statement according to Article 13 of the National Code of Criminal Procedure of Mexico.

Supermanzana 4 is a central and mixed area of Cancun, featuring both commercial and residential activities, where you can find businesses, offices, and services such as notaries.

This case adds to a series of arrests of Cuban citizens in Cancun and the state of Quintana Roo for various crimes in recent months.

In January 2026, a Cuban was arrested in Cancun linked to an international criminal network, and in October 2025, two Cubans originally from Las Tunas were arrested in the same city for carrying a 9 mm pistol without legal documentation, a case that was referred to the Attorney General's Office as it involved a federal crime.

Cancún is one of the main destinations for Cuban migrants in Mexico, serving both as a transit point to the United States and as a temporary place of residence. In recent years, the city has seen an increase in cases involving Cuban citizens engaged in various types of crimes, but there are also many instances of Cubans as victims of kidnapping, extortion, and human trafficking.
