Police are stunned to discover female leader of criminal gang named ‘The She-Wolf’ is an 18-year-old girl… now accused of murder, extortion and drug trafficking in Peru

Police in Peru have caught an 18-year-old teenage girl who was the leader of one of the most notorious gangs in the country’s central city of Callao.

In spite of her tender age, Gabriela Iparraguirre Porras, known as ‘The She-Wolf,’ has already made quite a name for herself in the criminal world.

Murder, drug trafficking and extortion are just some of the crimes she has allegedly committed.

According to Peruvian police, Ms Porras used to work alongside her boyfriend Juan Carlos Herrera, and another mobster, Alberto Cardenas Pimentel, before she took on the leadership role in the gang known as “The Bocanegra Wolves.”

Ms Porras’ lucky streak came to an end, however, when she was caught -together with the two other men- while planning a hit on a construction businessman. The job was going to make the trio a reported £6,000.

According to investigators, Ms Porras used to mostly work with guns and deal drugs before moving up to a leading role within her criminal organization.

Colonel Cesar Bedoya told local news outlets the gang was in possession of guns and grenades. Authorities have also confiscated drugs when they arrested the three.

Local Prosecutor Roger Rodriguez Rojas has asked for the young offenders to be remained in custody for a period of at least nine months, while an investigation into their alleged crimes is conducted.
