MEXICO CITY, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Interpol agents have detained a man wanted for sexual abuse of minors in northern Mexico, the Mexican Attorney General's office (PGR) said Saturday.
The fugitive, Lorenzo "B," was apprehended without the use of violence in the northern state of Chihuahua bordering the United States, the PGR said.
The man is wanted by the 168th District Court in El Paso, Texas, for alledged sexual abuse of minors.
Interpol and Mexican police sought the man's arrest after an extradition order was drawn up by a Mexican judge at the request of the U.S. government, the PGR said.
Mexican authorities will decide whether to extradite the fugitive.
Mexican security forces regularly capture fugitives from the United States who have fled across the border in an attempt to escape punishment.
