The Guardia Civil has arrested six motorcyclists for reckless group driving on the A7 highway near Torrent, after citizens reported their dangerous riding.

The Guardia Civil has arrested six motorcycle riders for offenses against road safety, including reckless driving, following an operation on the A7 highway. The individuals, part of a group of approximately 25 motorcyclists, had organized via social media to ride dangerously, endangering other road users.
The incident occurred around 6:00 PM last Saturday, June 15, when numerous citizens reported the negligent riding of the group. The motorcyclists were performing stunts such as wheelies and obstructing traffic near the municipality of Torrent.
Guardia Civil officers deployed a device to intercept the riders. Despite attempts to stop the negligent driving, some motorcyclists tried to evade the agents by weaving and even riding on dirt areas, as captured in video footage of the event. Further arrests are not ruled out in the coming days.
