Police arrested a man in Vidreres the day after he fled a checkpoint on the C-63 on the morning of January 10, after crashing the vehicle and abandoning it with drugs inside.

The events took place on the morning of January 10, when the individual evaded a preventive checkpoint established on the C-63 road at high speed. Following a pursuit, he suffered an accident in the urban center of Vidreres due to several dangerous maneuvers and traffic violations.

The operation required a coordinated effort involving several local police forces and the Mossos d’Esquadra to locate the fugitive.

After the accident, the man fled on foot, leaving the vehicle abandoned. When officers inspected the car, they found potentially dangerous objects and narcotic substances inside.
The search involved a coordinated operation between the local police forces of Caldes de Malavella, Sils, and Maçanet de la Selva, in addition to the Mossos d’Esquadra. The man was finally located and arrested the following midday, charged with reckless driving and serious disobedience to law enforcement officers.
