A Moroccan citizen was detained in the Spanish city of Ceuta for robbing minors, threatening them with a knife and a pellet gun. The individual was among those who entered Ceuta illegally on July 30 and 31, crossing the border through the demarcation line that separates the two cities.
The Guardia Civil was responsible for the detention of this migrant, who used bladed weapons and a pellet gun to intimidate the minor victims during the robbery. The incident occurred in the context of the massive arrival of people to the Spanish city through the land border with Morocco.
Spanish authorities continue to investigate the case and possible involvement in other similar crimes that may have been committed during the irregular entry into the autonomous city. Ceuta, as a Spanish enclave on Moroccan territory, has been the scene of multiple irregular entry attempts, particularly during the summer months.
