Backpacker arrested for false robbery claim

After reporting that he had been the victim of a vicious knife attack on an Alicante street, a 40-year-old Colombian man was arrested by the National Police for posing as a criminal. The individual who was arrested acknowledged that he had made up some of the events, but he told the police that he had no insurance, despite suspicions that the goal was to get paid by an insurance company.
The man who was arrested for feigning a crime told the police that two men had approached him on the street, taken the rucksack he was holding, and threatened him with a switchblade during the altercation. According to his version, he gave up his possessions out of terror, and the criminals ran away.
He stated that he had a laptop, bank card, company documents, and his car keys in his backpack. However, the officers’ early police investigations made them doubt the complainant’s version of events.
The complainant was called back by the police to elaborate on his account and provide further details. According to the authorities, the individual went to the Northern authorities Station in Alicante and was evasive and anxious during the interrogation until he eventually acknowledged that he had changed his account of events.
As he had stated in his first testimony, the man acknowledged that his rucksack had been stolen, but he did so without threatening him or using a weapon. Additionally, he said that the accused burglars had used his debit card to pay 40 euros at a café.
Upon examining the transactions made using the pilfered card, the agents found that the purchase was for a mobile churro stand, where such a high amount of money was uncommon, rather than a bar or café. By supplementing the existing evidence, this proof demonstrated the complaint’s partial falsehood.
The proceedings were brought to the notice of the on-duty Alicante court, and the detainee had no criminal history.
The National Police remind people that making a fake report is illegal and can have serious repercussions. Furthermore, this kind of activity wastes resources that could be utilised to protect actual victims and solve actual crimes.

Alicante man arrested for stabbing says “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up”

A 24-year-old man was arrested by the National Police for the stabbing incident that occurred in the North Zone of Alicant. Like the victim, the detainee was of Moroccan descent. He admitted to carrying out the stabbing and informed the agents that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.”
Yesterday at 7:30 p.m., the incident took place on calle Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the district of Virgen del Remedio. A 39-year-old guy who had been stabbed phoned an on-duty National Police patrol. The officers asked for the presence of medical assistance when he showed them the stab wound on his abdomen.
Following an explanation of what had transpired, a second patrol also arrived at the area and began searching for the individual who had stabbed him. According to what the victim told the police, he had been fighting with someone when he reached for a knife and stabbed him in the abdomen.
The police started searching when the victim gave them information, such as the fact that the assailant had a unique tattoo on his neck. Within an hour, they found the suspect in a fast-food restaurant in the same neighbourhood.
In order to defend what had happened, the suspect admitted to carrying out the attack and told the police that “the neighbourhood needs to be cleaned up.” The officers then went ahead and arrested the guy.
With a six-centimeter abdominal wound, the injured guy was sent to Alicante General Hospital and had surgery in the emergency room.
Before appearing in court, the detainee—who already had a criminal record and had acted aggressively towards the officers—was brought to the National Police headquarters for additional investigation.

Benidorm man arrested for stealing intimate photos from a friend’s phone

A man in Benidorm was arrested by the National Police for stealing private photos from a friend’s mobile phone after a party. The 39-year-old Spanish national was taken into custody on suspicion of uncovering and disclosing secrets.
When the woman complained to the Benidorm Police Station, the police investigation started. She told the officers that an acquaintance she had thrown a party with at a house in La Nucía had accessed her cell phone without her consent in a moment of carelessness and sent private images to her phone.
Officers from the Economic and Technological Crime Group at this police station launched an investigation in response to these incidents in order to confirm the information provided and to find, apprehend, and detain the suspected offender.
After preliminary enquiries, the officers discovered that the suspect had obtained the victim’s cell phone and had used a messaging app to send two private photos of her to her own phone.
The officers also obtained a statement from a witness to the incident throughout the inquiry, which supported the victim’s complaint. The suspect was ultimately taken into custody, and the Benidorm Court of Instruction on Duty was notified of all police actions.
