PSP arrests rental car driver after 6 km chase in Lisbon

Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 13:10

The Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) detained a rental car driver in Lisbon after a chase of approximately 6 kilometres. The man disobeyed a stop order on Avenida de Ceuta, starting a pursuit that only ended in the Telheiras area.

The driver is facing six criminal charges, although the article does not specify which ones. The police intervention resulted in two injured people, without identifying who these victims were.

The incident took place in the Portuguese capital and involved a rental vehicle, which may indicate that the driver was not necessarily the legal responsible for the car. The PSP proceeded to intercept the fugitive in the Telheiras area, ending the pursuit.

Why this matters

This incident directly affects Lisbon residents who travel in that area of the city, as a 6 km police chase represents an increased risk to road safety and pedestrians. The two injured people and the prolonged chase indicate a high-risk situation that could have resulted in more serious consequences, highlighting the importance of drivers respecting authorities' orders.

Bear attacks grow in the US and haunt even urban area residents; understand why

A severe sequence of violent encounters between humans and bears in the US has raised alarm bells between mid-August and early September, with attacks reported in states such as Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Alaska. The most serious case was the death of a 67-year-old man at his residence in New Mexico, in addition to multiple victims hospitalized with serious injuries. Experts explain that the increase coincides with the hyperphagia phase, when bears enter a compulsive search for calories — consuming up to 20,000 daily — to accumulate fat reserves before hibernation.

Bitcoin mine in Mexican mountains leaves cartels under suspicion

Mexican authorities discovered a clandestine bitcoin mining operation in the mountains of Tlaola, Puebla, suspected of links to organized crime and money laundering. The operation was detected due to abnormal energy consumption and machine noise, leading to the seizure of 300 graphics processing units, 80 medium voltage terminals and eight satellite internet antennas. This is the fourth operation of this type discovered in the region since the beginning of last year, all near the Necaxa hydroelectric dam, where operators were stealing electricity. The investigation, conducted by the Attorney General's Office, the Navy and the Puebla Secretariat of Public Security, is expanding to neighboring municipalities to determine whether there is an organized network behind the operations. According to Chainalysis, cryptocurrency transactions associated with criminal activity more than doubled in 2025, reaching approximately 154 billion dollars.
