Overview
- The operation resulted in seven arrests after coordinated searches of seven properties in Hormigos that tied a high‑profile robbery to a separate drug investigation.
- Authorities began the inquiries after a violent April attack on a truck at a Torquemada rest area in which masked assailants used police‑style badges, vests and blue lights to try to steal cargo.
- Searches uncovered three stolen vehicles (two used in the truck assault and one found being dismantled), two indoor cannabis installations and quantities of marijuana and hashish.
- Agents seized multiple weapons including a revolver with its serial number erased, two rifles, air‑guns, about €6,600 in cash, luxury watches and distribution equipment such as precision scales.
- Judicial actions are now open across courts in Torrijos, Alcalá de Henares, Getafe, Madrid and Palencia as investigators and prosecutors handle multi‑jurisdictional charges and evidence.
