Overview
- A driver reported that a passing vehicle opened fire at his car in Vilanova de Arousa, with up to three bullets striking the left side near the driver compartment.
- Investigators recovered projectiles lodged inside the victim's vehicle, including two that pierced the bodywork, and used those ballistic traces to identify the suspected car.
- The Policía Judicial of the Guardia Civil in Cambados arrested two Vilagarcía de Arousa residents, aged 62 and 33, who were detained Monday, June 1 after the vehicle was identified.
- After being presented to Juzgado de Instrucción Nº 2 in Vilagarcía de Arousa, both suspects were released with charges and placed under an order of alejamiento that bars them from approaching the victim.
- Authorities say both men have prior police records and the open Operación Balnova investigation will continue as forensic analysis and witness work aim to build the case for possible further measures or charges.
