Overview
- Police detained a 43-year-old man in Granada’s North district after a spate of taxi attacks reported in late March and early April.
- Investigators say he repeatedly hired rides to drop-offs near known drug-sale points, then assaulted drivers to seize cash and the taxi keys.
- One victim suffered several knife cuts to the face during an attack described by police as especially violent.
- Officers report the detainee has more than twenty prior police records tied to earlier offenses.
- The three drivers identified him without doubt, and police say a wide operation using technical and human teams led to his arrest and transfer to the local court.
