Mexican police have captured the country's most wanted drug lord, Servando "La Tuta" Gomez.
Mr Gomez, leader of the Knights Templar drug cartel, was arrested in Morelia in Michoacan state without a shot fired.
He was taken to Mexico City, where he was paraded before television cameras, before being flown by helicopter to a maximum security prison.
President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter that the rule of law had been strengthened because of the arrest.
A police spokesman told local media the arrest followed months of intelligence work in the region.
Police reportedly seized nearby properties in the weeks leading up Mr Gomez's capture and arrested several of his associates, including his brother, Flavio Gomez, who was in charge of the family's finances.
