Spanish authorities arrest suspects in multiple crime incidents

Mossos d’Esquadra Guardia Civil Benidorm burglaries AP-7 highway robberies maritime pursuit

Spanish law enforcement agencies have conducted several operations resulting in multiple arrests across different regions.

In Tarragona, Mossos d’Esquadra arrested three men, aged 22, 29, and 35, for targeting tourists on the AP-7 highway. The suspects allegedly used tactics such as sudden braking or feigning flat tires to force vehicles to stop. One suspect had a judicial ban on accessing the highway, and the driver tested positive for cocaine and lacked a valid license.

In Benidorm, National Police arrested two men for a series of burglaries involving apartments and a campsite in the Serra Gelada area. The thefts, occurring between late September and mid-October, included the theft of jewelry, mobile phones, and tablets. A third individual was also detained for a separate residential burglary.

In the Guadalquivir river estuary, the Guardia Civil arrested five individuals, including residents of Algeciras and Gibraltar, following a maritime pursuit. During an attempt to flee a suspected fuel transfer operation (petaqueo), a suspect's boat rammed a Guardia Civil patrol boat, injuring two agents and causing material damage to the official vessel.
