The National Police detained four Moroccan citizens in an irregular situation, suspected of having attacked Spanish soldiers during the early hours of Saturday in Ceuta. The incident resulted in a wounded sergeant from the Regulares Group of the Spanish Army, according to information confirmed by the Superior Police Headquarters.

The attacked soldiers belonged to the Regulares Group, a military unit stationed in the Spanish city of Ceuta, located on the north coast of Africa. The confrontation occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning, when the soldiers were on duty.

The authorities identified the four detained individuals as Moroccan citizens who were in an irregular situation on Spanish territory. Investigations are ongoing to clarify all the details of the incident.

The information was confirmed by sources from the Superior Police Headquarters, who indicated that the wounded sergeant received medical assistance after the attack. Ceuta, as a Spanish enclave in North Africa, has frequently been the scene of irregular entry attempts coming from Moroccan territory.

Drive carefully in the Algarve: Faro is the district with the most cases of this scam in 2026 and victims are losing more than 15 thousand euros

The GNR warns of the growth of staged traffic accident scams in Portugal, with the district of Faro recording the highest number of cases in 2026, already surpassing the total for the entire previous year. Losses exceeded 72 thousand euros in the first half of the year, with a single victim losing 15,450 euros. The scheme involves following drivers as they exit parking lots, simulating a collision, and pressuring victims to pay quickly while avoiding police involvement. Criminals now use portable payment terminals to obtain bank cards and PIN codes, and specifically target drivers over 60 years old. The GNR recommends never handing over money immediately, photographing the scene and vehicles, and contacting police if suspicious.
