Overview
- Investigators from Sarrià-Sant Gervasi led the case, first searching a Cabrera de Mar farm used as a stash site before conducting raids in Barcelona, Montcada i Reixac and Terrassa.
- Police attribute 41 ram-raid offences to one group and 38 truck robberies to the other, noting both cells shared stolen high-end cars and vans to carry out the crimes.
- Six stolen vehicles were recovered along with goods from at least 14 truck thefts valued at more than €500,000, including cosmetics, clothing and electronics.
- Most of the detainees have already appeared before a judge, and one suspect was remanded to prison, according to La Vanguardia.
- The takedown follows a surge of roughly 3,800 road-crime complaints through late November, with the AP-7 flagged as a hotspot and Mossos moving to coordinate a broader response despite limited dedicated investigators.
