The Guardia Civil, as part of Operation Barnan, has arrested a 35-year-old man as the alleged perpetrator of five burglaries inside homes and another in a cafe since last December. Most of the crimes were committed in Calpe, with the exception of one that took place in Lliber, according to a statement from the Guardia Civil.

During February and early March, the Guardia Civil detected an increase in burglaries in villas and cafes in Calpe. In response to this situation, the Investigation Department of the Guardia Civil Main Post in Calpe launched an operation aimed at eradicating these crimes and arresting those responsible.

Initial investigations determined that the robberies were committed at night and that the perpetrator likely acted alone, employing a common modus operandi: breaking doors and/or windows to gain access to the interior of the buildings.

Thanks to the analysis of several hours of security footage, the taking of testimonies, and surveillance conducted by officers, the suspect was identified and located at the crime scene. Finally, on the afternoon of March 11th, he was located and arrested.

Following his arrest, a search was carried out at his home, located in a residential area of ​​the same town, where numerous items were seized, including electronic devices, tools, jewelry, and costume jewelry, all of dubious origin.

The detainee, along with the seized belongings, was brought before the Denia Investigative Court, which ordered his release on bail.

The detainee, a Moldovan national, has an extensive criminal record for property crimes and, at the time of his arrest, had an active search, arrest, and appearance warrant issued by the Investigative Court No. 3 of the Denia Judicial District for robberies committed during November and December of last year in Altea.

The Guardia Civil continues its investigation to clarify the origin of the recovered objects. To this end, it has released a photograph of the seized items so that potential victims can identify them and, if necessary, arrange for their return. The objects are being held at the Guardia Civil Main Post in Calpe.

The National Police have detained a 53-year-old woman in Alicante for reportedly throwing two Yorkshire terriers out the window of her eighth-floor home, supposedly because she refused to take them for a walk.  The Local Police arrived to identify and recover the bodies of the two dogs.

    The animal’s owner, who appeared in court yesterday morning, Monday 24th March, revealed to police officers that the incident occurred at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday on Calle Sol Naciente in the Alicante neighbourhood of Albufereta, from where she was later detained.

    Following a report of the event, a National Police patrol responded to the area.  They interrogated many witnesses, who claimed that the now-detained woman threw several objects into the street.

The firefighters at the Dénia station worked a long night, not only extracting the deceased driver but also preventing the fire from spreading to the two colliding vehicles.
The images depict how the smaller vehicle, whose occupant was killed instantaneously, was transformed into an unrecognisable mass of metal.

This morning was an extremely difficult and busy night for the Provincial Fire Consortium, particularly the firemen at the Dénia fire station. They were hard at work responding to the accident at the AP-7 exit in Ondara, on the bridge over the N-332, where a horrific collision occurred. As stated by this newspaper, a huge trailer crashed with a smaller crane vehicle, killing the driver instantaneously.

In addition, the two occupants of the larger truck were injured and transported to Dénia Hospital. Heavy traffic bottlenecks ensued.

Firefighters, who provided these photographs depicting how the smaller vehicle had been reduced to an unrecognisable pile of twisted metal, had to remove the deceased, stop diesel spills, keep both vehicles from catching fire, and clear the route.

Meanwhile, Guardia Civil and Local Police officials directed traffic coming from the highway, Dénia, and other nearby towns. The First Security Force’s traffic investigation department has launched an investigation to identify the cause of the collision, which saw the two vehicles collide nearly head on.
