Two caught but how many more to go?

Guardia Civil officers have arrested two men on suspicion of the burglary of properties in Los Montesinos and Almoradi. The police had noticed that since early September, the numbers of burglaries in these areas had increased and the modus operandi was always the same - entry via the smashing of windows and the theft of anything of value.

When arrested, the two men, who are both Spanish, were found with a revolver, several household appliances and audio-visual equipment, all valued at about 10,000 euros. The robberies had caused a considerable amount of public alarm in both municipalities over the last few months, especially in the more isolated farm areas. The two men have been charged with committing eight robberies.

Let us hope that the Guardia Civil go on to catch the people responsible for the recent burglaries at Villas Andrea where thieves removed the security grills before taking the windows out.
