The capture took place last Wednesday in Arona, a town located in the south of Tenerife, part of the Canary Islands archipelago. The Pole lived there with his wife and two children, using… forged identity documents.
The officers determined that it was a man took special precautionsintended to make his arrest more difficult. He usually did not go far from his place of residence and left the front door to his house open all the time so that he could quickly escape in case of danger. He lived in a house on a cul-de-sac, which was supposed to make it easier for him to control his surroundings.
Formerly a man managed to elude officers during a routine road check. He then fled in a car and during the chase he hit several other vehicles. This attempt to avoid arrest was successful, but only for a short time.
Over 40 allegations from Poland
Ultimately, Spanish policemen they detained the wanted man when he moved a few meters away from his house while walking his dog. This brief moment of inattention allowed the services to carry out the operation safely.
The investigation began in September 2025, when the Spanish police received a request from the Polish side for cooperation in capturing the man.
He was Polish wanted on a European arrest warrant in connection with over 40 crimes. The charges include illegal possession and production of weapons, drug trafficking and fraud.
