Pursuit on the A-7: Three Arrested After Estepona–Mijas Chase

An intense pursuit unfolded on the A-7 highway between Estepona and Mijas, ending last night with three individuals detained after a fast-moving vehicle zigzagged through traffic. The car’s reckless speed and aggressive maneuvers posed an immediate risk to other road users, prompting patrols to intervene. The pursuing officers managed to corner the suspects in an urban area of Calahonda, where authorities recovered a substantial cash amount and halted the vehicle. The detainees, aged 26, 28 and 32, face multiple charges, including road safety violations, assault on law enforcement, resistance, and disobedience. The operation demonstrated a coordinated response among local police and aerial support to prevent harm and bring the situation under control. The cash recovered totaled 6,000 plus euros, and the vehicle involved was taken as evidence along with the money found inside. This incident underscores the dangers of high-speed evasion on busy highways and the swift actions taken by responding officers to safeguard the public.
