Alfredo Beltran Leyva, a top player in the Sinaloa drug cartel, has been detained in Mexico:

Alfredo Beltran Leyva was detained on Sunday in the north-western city of Culiacan along with three other people, an army spokesman said.

They were allegedly carrying $900,000 (£460,000) in cash in two suitcases and a Kalashnikov rifle.

Mexico is in the grip of so-called “narco wars” - the fight between drug cartels and the security forces.

Dressed in jeans, a dark jacket and boots, the handcuffed Mr Beltran Leyva was shown off to reporters before being flown to an unknown destination by the military.

Prosecutors say he is a close associate of Mexico’s most wanted man, Joaquin “Shorty” Guzman, head of the Sinaloa cartel.

A Get Shorty pun would be too easy here. As would a “these boots were made for walking” joke. Both would be cheesy. We wouldn’t be able to Sink Any Loa after that. So we’ll just end right.. here.
