Girona closed 2025 with 274 robberies with violence and intimidation and a rate of 252.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the highest in the State, in a year also marked by the frustrated robbery attempt at the Banco Santander office on Emili Grahit street.
That assault occurred on October 2, 2025. Mossos d'Esquadra and Girona Municipal Police intervened after a worker left their mobile phone active during the robbery and the person listening to it alerted 112. The police unit arrived in less than seven minutes.
According to available data, three disguised men held seven people inside the branch and demanded to open the safe. Finally, the three were arrested in flagrante delicto after surrendering without taking anything. The weapons they used were simulated.
