According to the Mexican government, the operation was assisted by US agencies.
Twelve others were arrested, forty-three vehicles were confiscated, as were a cache of weapons which included a rocket launcher.
The operation is being considered a complete success, as no shots were even fired during it.
Mexico is also saying that this success shows that their strategy is working and proves that they had not signed an agreement with the cartels.
Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman had ran the Sinaloa Cartel, considered the most powerful in the world.
Expectations are now that the cartel will be forced to break into smaller groups, as their cohesiveness will be lost.
Some fear that this will lead to an increase in violence as the cartels fight over the territory.
