A man wanted in Peoria on multiple sex crimes charges against children was extradited from Mexico Friday night.

Gilberto Buitimea Bacacegua, 52, was charged in March 2016 with two counts of sexual acts with minors, two counts of sexual abuse, and one count of kidnapping, according to the U.S. Security Service.

In securing Mr. Bacasegua’s arrest and extradition, the Peoria Police Department and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office received assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, which worked with Mexican law enforcement, federal agencies said. According to the U.S. Security Service, the handover went without incident.

In a statement, Deputy U.S. Marshal Van Bayless praised the “outstanding investigative and cooperative efforts” of the police department, county attorney’s office and federal agencies in finding and returning Ms. Bacasegua to Arizona.

“Incidents like this demonstrate how important it is for government agencies to work diligently to ensure the safety and security of our communities,” Bayless said in a statement.
