The capture of alleged Mexican drug cartel leader Vicente Carrillo Leyva prompted the Juárez mayor to place police in the city on alert.

Mexican officials said they feared that cartel operatives could respond to Carrillo Leyva's arrest with acts of retaliation. "The mayor has asked law enforcement officers on patrol to exercise extreme caution," said a statement issued by Chihuahua Joint Operation officials.

Juárez Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz, who's received death threats, ordered the alert after Mexican federal officials announced Carrillo Leyva's arrest.

Carrillo Leyva, considered the No. 2 man in the Juárez cartel, was arrested Wednes day while jogging in Mexico City. Officials who presented him at a news conference Thursday said he had changed his appearance through plastic surgery.
