Description

Bodycam footage shows the moment a New Mexico man was arrested in connection with a bust with an estimated worth of $1 million, according to police. An officer with the Albuquerque Police Department knocked on a hotel room door after a check of a vehicle in the parking lot alerted him that the owner had an arrest warrant for robbery. That’s when 28-year-old Xavier Garcia answered, but police were looking for 24-year-old Merena Perez. Perez quickly came to the door and was taken into custody, but it was too late.
