Three arrested in Granada vehicle theft ring targeting repair shops

In the autumn of 2025, three men with deep knowledge of the automotive trade turned their expertise toward systematic theft across Granada province, stealing vehicles and stripping them for parts on commission. The Civil Guard's Operation Molkas traced the web of crimes back to a single stolen tow truck — the instrument that made everything else possible. Their arrest reminds us that specialized knowledge, when divorced from ethical grounding, can become a tool of quiet but far-reaching harm to ordinary working people and their livelihoods.
