A twenty-five-year-old man has been arrested following a police chase on the AP7 motorway. The pursuit began when officials detected his stolen Ford Transit, which had been reported missing from a property in Los Alcázares. The suspect fled from San Javier police but crashed into a residential building in La Palma amid his reckless driving.

Accompanying him was a twenty-five-year-old woman from Barcelona, who was also arrested. Witnesses reported that after the crash, the pair attempted to escape but were eventually located by police. The arrest was made easier when a concerned citizen alerted authorities after overhearing the suspect boast about the incident in a local bar.

During the arrest, officials discovered a handbag containing the identification of a woman, raising further questions about the suspects’ actions. Both individuals are now in custody with the Guardia Civil, awaiting further investigation.

This incident highlights the ongoing issue of vehicle theft and reckless driving in the region, drawing attention to the effective response of law enforcement agencies involved in the pursuit and eventual apprehension of the suspects.
