MEXICO CITY -- "Narco Polo" is the new fashion<br />
trend sweeping lower-class neighborhoods in<br />
Mexico, inspired by seven high-ranking drug<br />
traffickers who were arrested over a three-month<br />
stretch wearing open-neck, short-sleeved<br />
jerseys with the familiar horseman-with-a-stick<br />
emblem.<br />

LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE<br />
Pictured on the left are cartel members Marcos Carmona<br />
Hernandez ―El Cabrito‖ (arrested 03/07/11), Edgar Valdez<br />
Villarreal ―La Barbie‖ (arrested 08/30/10), Jose Jorge<br />
Balderas Garza ―JJ‖ (arrested 01/18/11), and Benjamin<br />
Flores Reyes ―El Padrino‖ (arrested 03/06/11). All of these<br />
subjects were arrested within the past year, and all were<br />
wearing Ralph Lauren Polo shirts at the time of arrest. <strong>The</strong><br />
quality of clothing publicly expresses their success and<br />
wealth. <strong>The</strong> Big Pony Polo brand shirt cost approximately<br />
$98 as of April <strong>20</strong>11. This is a key indicator for officers on<br />
both sides of the border to use caution when dealing with<br />
subjects dressed in designer attire pending other indicators.<br />

It must be noted that many people in Mexico and the United States dress lavishly simply as a fashion<br />
statement, and many Narcos dress using the brands in fashion with American teens.<br />
