The typically peaceful patron saint festivals of Pedrosa del Páramo in Burgos, with its 200 inhabitants, ended in a massive fight during the nighttime party. A tumultuous brawl involving multiple participants led to the arrest by the Civil Guard of six alleged aggressors who had fled through the countryside. The agents used a drone with a built-in thermal camera to locate the six accused in the middle of the night. These individuals caused various injuries to the victims, one of whom needed surgical intervention. The six individuals, aged between 19 and 21, are being investigated for various charges of assault and disobedience to authority, as they attempted to escape and avoid consequences.
The Civil Guard issued a statement indicating that the analyzed events occurred in the early hours of Sunday, August 5, during the festivities in Pedrosa del Páramo. Around five in the morning, a brawl broke out among attendees at the party. Initially, “numerous young people attending” the musical performance were involved, but when several local residents tried to calm things down, they were the ones who were attacked and sustained various injuries, including one that required surgical intervention. The Civil Guard received a report of a mass brawl in which a group of young people outside the town were threatening those present, claiming to have weapons.
Upon attempting to flee, the number of police officers was increased to apprehend the suspects, and the assistance of the Citizen Security Unit of the Burgos command was requested, equipped with drones with thermal cameras. This technology allows for the detection of people or vehicles in the dark due to the heat they emit. A video provided by the Civil Guard shows how the accused individuals tried to evade capture by running through the nearby fields, but the drone was able to locate them and communicate their location to the officers on the ground. The six individuals were eventually identified and are being investigated for alleged assault on party attendees, in addition to a charge of disobedience to the authority figures who attempted to detain them.
