Overview
- Investigators from the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi unit led raids in Barcelona, Cabrera de Mar, Montcada i Reixac and Terrassa, detaining 10 suspects tied to coordinated truck and storefront ramming attacks.
- The two groups are accused of 79 offenses, including 41 vehicle-ramming break-ins and 38 truck robberies carried out by tarpaulin-cutting crews.
- Police recovered six stolen vehicles and goods worth over €500,000 linked to at least 14 truck thefts, locating stashes at a farm in Cabrera de Mar and a hideout in Montcada i Reixac.
- Detectives report the crews shared high-end stolen cars between the ramming and truck-theft teams, and most detainees have been referred to judicial authorities with one suspect jailed.
- Authorities cite roughly 3,800 road-network crime complaints through November and an AP-7 hotspot pattern as they develop a force-wide prevention and containment plan.
