This Friday evening, Barcelona security forces are preparing to execute the Dague Plan, a macro device group organized by the Mossos, the Local Police and the Urban Police with the aim of remove bladed weapons from public roads which circulate in the city of Barcelona.
“The system has just started and some citizens have been robbed using the technique they call Ronaldinho. They had a knife measuring more than 25 centimeters, a pair of scissors and a fork stolen,” explains Begoña Alday, mayor of Barcelona Urban Guard.
Knives, razors or machetes are the target, but also certain less obvious objects such as a carabiner with an integrated knife.
Finally, The Mossos seized 131 bladed weapons and 22 dangerous objects on his first night with his ‘Dagger Plan’.
The spokesperson for the Catalan police, Montserrat Escudé, explained this in an interview given this Saturday to ‘Rac1’, collected by Europa Press. Escudé clarified that, with last night’s data, it is not that there are more weapons than a few months ago, but that the Daga Plan was implemented because the police were aware that “there are many more weapons than we found”. “in regular police operations.
The spokesperson explained that the knife phenomenon is linked, first of all, to drug trafficking and crimes in general, as well as to spaces of “social interaction” or recreational activities.
He also stressed that the problem of bladed weapons “is not exclusive to Catalonia” but that it is shared with Western societies.
