MEXICO CITY – Mexican federal police say they have captured a top lieutenant of the Tijuana-based Arellano Felix cartel.

Suspect Manuel Invanovich Zambrano Flores is among those listed on a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration poster seeking information on the cartel.

The federal Public Safety Department said Saturday that Zambrano Flores was arrested in Tijuana, across from San Diego. Police seized 10 rifles, 7 pistols, almost 4,000 rounds of ammunition during his arrest.

The department says he was responsible "for a large part of the organization's drug shipments to the United States and its finances."

Zambrano Flores was detained Friday and is being held on suspicion of drug trafficking, weapons possession and organized crime charges.
