Marines arrested Miguel Angel Trevino after intercepting his pick-up truck with a helicopter a few kms from his home town of Nuevo Laredo on the US border, government spokesman Eduardo Sanchez said. "Not a single shot was fired."

The Zetas have been blamed for many of the worst atrocities in Mexico's struggle with drug gangs. Pena Nieto has pledged to restore peace to a country that has suffered more than 70,000 deaths to cartel violence since 2007. Trevino, 40, was caught along with two associates after a monthslong operation to track him down, Sanchez said.
