Albuquerque, NM - Since October of 2014 the United States
Marshal Service in New Mexico along with its’ South West Investigative Fugitive
Team (SWIFT) Task Force members have made 52 arrests of homicide or attempted
homicide fugitives in New Mexico. United States Marshal for the District of New
Mexico Conrad E. Candelaria said “These arrests all were a direct result of the
U.S. Marshals Service and its’ Task Force partners commitment to making and
keeping New Mexico communities safe”.
Of the 52 arrests approximately 40 were state warrants and
the remainder were federal warrants. These warrants were adopted by the U.S.
Marshals Service through the SWIFT Task Force or referred to the District of
New Mexico by other U.S. Marshals offices and Task Forces across the country.
These arrests also span different countries including fugitives wanted for
homicide by foreign countries. “The U.S. Marshals Service is known for its
relentless dedication when it comes to the pursuit of fugitives and the results
speak for themselves” United States Marshal Conrad E. Candelaria commented.
Each of these 52 arrests involved an in-depth investigation
that in some cases involved numerous states, U.S. Marshal Offices and law
enforcement agencies. By utilizing the nationwide network of law enforcement
officers assigned to U.S. Marshal Violent Fugitive Offender Task Forces,
Investigators in New Mexico have helped bring criminals to justice and closure
to the victims’ families.
In 2014 U.S. Marshal task forces arrested more than 104,000
federal, state and local fugitives on felony charges.
