A son of Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was among suspected criminals abducted in a Pacific coast city on Monday, August 15 officials say, according to BBC News.

They say Jesus Alfredo Guzman, 29, was one of six members of the Sinaloa Cartel seized by members of a rival gang, Jalisco New Generation.

The incident took place at a restaurant in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta.

Chapo Guzman, who is in jail, led the Sinaloa Cartel for years. Jesus Alfredo is suspected to be a senior member.

He is wanted on drugs charges by the US.
