Law enforcement agencies reinforce security and prevention operations in Colombia and Spain

Various law enforcement agencies are implementing security and prevention measures across different regions. In Villanueva, La Guajira, the National Police and the Army have reinforced operations to ensure safety during the Santo Tomás patron saint festivities through vehicle checks and identity verifications.

In Catalonia, Spain, the Mossos d'Esquadra have launched a series of traffic macro-controls in the Camp de Tarragona area to detect driving distractions, such as mobile phone use, and alcohol or drug impairment. Additionally, the Mossos are increasing surveillance at the Estació de França to prevent copper theft. The new head of the Mossos, Sílvia Catà, has also announced plans to combat youth gangs and decentralize organized crime investigations.

Other local security updates include a significant rise in electric scooter-related incidents in Terrassa and a period of reduced local police presence in Tordesillas due to medical leaves, requiring reinforcement from the Civil Guard. Meanwhile, cultural festivities like Santa Tecla in Tarragona continue with various community events and historical commemorations.
