Some of Mexico's most wanted criminals have been trapped thanks to their own hubris. (El Daily Post)

Drug lords, a serial rapist and murderer, a white-collar criminal linked to drug cartels — each once considered a top target for prosecutors — have been apprehended by the authorities due to a simple vagary.

This is not to say that police or the military just got lucky, because they were there to take advantage of the lapses. But you can’t deny that sometimes the presence of a monkey, tickets to a soccer match or a birthday cake provided the missing clue for the authorities to trap the occasional bad guy.

El Daily Post presents some of the most recent cases of most wanted criminals falling into the authorities’ hands thanks to quirky happenstance. Check it out here.
