Guardia Civil investigates disappearance in O Salnés and kidnapping in Burgos

The Guardia Civil is investigating the disappearance of a resident of Ribadumia in the O Salnés region. The disappearance follows a report filed by acquaintances on Saturday. While authorities initially treated the case as a voluntary departure because the individual is an adult, no special search protocols have been activated yet.

This disappearance coincides with an ongoing anti-drug investigation involving fuel drums found along the Galician coast. Authorities suspect the drums may have originated from a shipwrecked high-speed boat used for drug trafficking. Similar containers were recently intercepted by the Portuguese National Republican Guard in Esposende, an operation that involved the seizure of a narcolanche and Kalashnikov rifles.

In a separate incident in Burgos, four individuals, including three men and one woman, were arrested following the kidnapping of a man in Briviesca. A retired civil guard witnessed three men forcibly and violently placing a fourth person into a vehicle. The vehicle was later intercepted in Monasterio de Rodilla. The victim was transported to the University Hospital of Burgos with serious injuries. Investigators are currently treating the kidnapping as a potential settlement of accounts.
