Police Make String of Arrests in Granada and Valladolid Over Card Fraud, Street Robbery and Assault on Officer

Investigators relied on transaction records, delivery addresses, witness descriptions.

Overview

  • A 21-year-old hospitality worker in Granada was detained on suspicion of using a customer’s card to make 13 online purchases across four platforms totaling more than €1,300, with all orders sent to a single address.
  • Police say the Granada purchases occurred almost daily over about two weeks after the 53-year-old victim reported unauthorized charges; the suspect was released with charges pending court summons.
  • In Valladolid, officers arrested a young man identified for making consecutive small contactless fuel payments with a card lost on June 25, detaining him on September 3 and releasing him after notifying judicial authorities.
  • Two men were arrested in Valladolid on suspicion of robbery with violence and injuries after taking €2 given as alms and a PDA from a man outside a supermarket and beating him when he demanded the items back; a judge later ordered their release.
  • A separate Valladolid arrest followed a disturbance at a bar where a man refused identification, resisted transfer to the station, and injured an officer; he was placed at the court’s disposal and released while proceedings continue.
