Officers from the Guàrdia Urbana de Reus, the National Police, and agents from the Regional Operational Resources Area of the Mossos d'Esquadra participated in the deployment. The action focused on two specific areas of the city, the Gaudí neighborhood and Mas Pellicer.
The officers carried out checks and identifications in an operation aimed at preventing crimes and reinforcing surveillance in transit areas. The Kanpai operation is specifically directed at train and bus stations and other points with high mobility of people.
The report included 17 citations for possession of narcotics and three for prohibited weapons. In addition, there were 17 other citations for traffic violations and two judicial summonses processed during the operation.
The operation seized four scooters and resulted in citations for drugs, weapons, and traffic
During the operation, police forces seized four electric scooters due to various irregularities. The main reason was the lack of mandatory insurance.
The operation in Reus is part of a series of recent deployments of the same operation in Camp de Tarragona, with coordinated interventions between different security forces. Within this framework, checks, inspections, and dozens of arrests have already been carried out in similar operations.
