Mexican federal police captured Teodoro García Simental, a drug trafficker famed for his gang's alleged brutality, in an early-morning raid on Tuesday in the resort town of La Paz, Baja California, police said.

The arrest of Mr. García, known as "El Teo," is the second big blow to Mexican drug gangs in less than a month. In December, drug lord Arturo Beltrán Leyva was killed in a raid by Mexican Navy special forces. Mr. Beltran was the highest-ranking drug lord taken down by Mexico since 2003.
