Man caught in Ibiza after chase on stolen moped

Suspect fled during a chase and was located hours later by officers
Coche de la Policía Nacional en Ibiza.

The National Police arrested last October 22 in Ibiza a 36-year-old man of Algerian origin, accused of theft, robbery and use of vehicle. The incident began following a complaint from the owner of the moped, who had reported it missing on October 18 when he found that it was no longer in its usual place in Galicia Street. The vehicle was located days later, in circulation, with two people on board and heading in the opposite direction. When given the order to stop, the agents activated the light and acoustic signals, but the driver decided to flee, increasing speed. The pursuit ended near a hillside, where the suspect abandoned the moped and his passenger, escaping on foot. During the intervention, the passenger claimed to be unaware that the vehicle was stolen. A check of the moped revealed that the fairing had been changed and the VIN tampered with, confirming its illegal origin. Despite his escape, the driver was located and arrested just three hours later by agents of the Citizen Security Brigade. In addition to the stolen moped, the agents recovered five other vehicles stolen on the island, which were handed over to their owners.
