Guardia Civil officers patrolling a service area in Peraleda de la Mata, in the
province of Cáceres, observed a 38-year-old man circulating on a bicycle.[1]
He was travelling with a bicycle and a backpack.[1] When the cyclist noticed
the police presence, he tried to escape cross-country but managed only a few
metres before officers intercepted him.[1]
Officers then searched his belongings and located two plastic bags holding 935
grams of cannabis buds.[1] The intervention ended with his detention as a
presumed perpetrator of an offence against public health for drug trafficking.[1] During the subsequent identity check, officers discovered he had a pending
judicial requisition for search, detention and appearance issued by a court in
Algeciras, in Cádiz.[1]
The force presented the episode as the most recent in a series of actions
developed over recent months by the Guardia Civil at different points across the
province.[1] Those different cases responded to different circumstances and
did not form part of the same operation.[1]
The article gives no separate date for the patrol interception, so 3 November 2026, the publication date, is used as the incident date.
The man's full name was not published, only his age of 38 years.
No court outcome beyond the arrest was reported.
Only one accessible source for this Peraleda interception was opened after searching for corroboration.
