Reus and Riudoms intensify controls to curb criminal activities

The police of Reus and Riudoms have intensified preventive controls to prevent criminal activities from escaping through less monitored paths. This measure has raised concern among the local residents, who view the increased police presence critically.

The controls are carried out at access points between the two municipalities, with special attention to the secondary road network used to avoid the main routes. This coordinated action began in May 2026 and is part of the response by local security forces to the rise in suspicious activities.

Coordination between security forces

Collaboration between the Urban Guard of Reus and the Municipal Guard of Riudoms

The Urban Guard of Reus and the Municipal Guard of Riudoms work together to increase surveillance at strategic points connecting both municipalities. This collaboration allows coverage of areas that were previously off the radar, especially secondary paths.

Objectives of the preventive controls

The controls aim to prevent criminals from using less traveled routes to avoid the usual police presence. In this way, they seek to cut off the mobility of illegal activities and increase the sense of security among citizens.

The secondary network under scrutiny

Less monitored paths, new routes for crime

The secondary network, made up of minor roads and paths, is where many of the criminal activities to be prevented are concentrated. This situation requires strengthening police presence beyond the main roads.

Impact on mobility and the community

Residents have noticed an increase in controls and police presence, which generates mixed opinions. But the intention is clear: to prevent crime from finding easy ways to act.

Recent data and actions

Start of controls in May 2026

According to the Urban Guard of Reus, preventive controls began to intensify from May 20, 2026, with active coordination with the Municipal Guard of Riudoms.

Official communication and monitoring

The police keep the public informed through social media to justify and provide transparency to these measures, aiming for the population to understand the need for their reinforced presence.

The secondary routes, which until now seemed a refuge for crime, are now under the focus of stricter and more coordinated surveillance between municipalities.
