In the city of Reynosa after a party on Saturday night, Alan Pulido was kidnapped while he was driving on the way to his house alongside his girlfriend. The woman wasn't even hurt but Pulido was taken, the reports started coming in from everywhere.
The Tamaulipas Coordination Group got allied with the Federal Police and the Federal Government looking for Pulido across the whole state of Tamaulipas. Even helicopters were in the air looking for him, but last Sunday there was no luck at all. Reportedly, Pulido had some time as the criminals got distracted and he had some time to call to an emergency number. That's how he got rescued, reportedly one of the perpetrators was wounded with a bullet and the other one escaped.
The Tamaulipas Coordination Group - who organized the rescue - released a statement: "A joint operation of federal and state forces shortly before midnight on Sunday May 29 managed to rescue professional footballer Alan Pulido safe and sound.
