Mossos d'Esquadra officers arrested three men in Valls, Tarragona, last Wednesday, 10 June 2026, as part of an operation to dismantle a criminal group. The men, aged 48, 58, and 59, are suspected of two aggravated robberies, one attempted aggravated robbery, three thefts, and one attempted theft.
The arrests took place around 2pm on the Pla de Valls road. Police said the investigation identified a criminal group of four men specialising in aggravated robberies and thefts from industrial estates across Catalonia. Their targets included businesses in Alt Camp, Conca de Barberà, Tarragonès, Baix Llobregat, Alt Penedès, and Baix Penedès.
Thefts across Catalonia
The group primarily stole pallets, or attempted to, with the total value of the stolen goods estimated at nearly €10,900, according to police. The investigation determined the group's activities spanned multiple regions, affecting various industrial areas.
Further details about the fourth member of the group or any ongoing searches were not immediately available. The arrested men are expected to face charges related to their alleged involvement in the organised criminal activity.
The Mossos d'Esquadra continue to investigate the full extent of the group's operations and whether they are linked to other incidents. The arrests aim to deter similar crimes in industrial zones, which are often targets for organised theft due to the concentration of valuable goods.
