Two men arrested by National Police for robbing five homes in Elche

National Police officers have arrested two men in Elche (Alicante) as the alleged perpetrators of five robberies in different houses located in the rural areas of the city. According to a statement from the Police Headquarters, both men who were caught had been convicted of similar crimes more than 100 times before. They are accused of stealing jewellery, watches, more than 12,000 euros in cash, and four cars.
They cut the fence around the houses with scissors and used a wrench to open the front door. Once they were inside, they stole all the car keys they could find, as well as the gate codes and the cars that were parked on the plot.
The two men who were caught by the National Police in Elche stealing four cars.
Two people were caught on Thursday. They are 36 and 49 years old and are from Morocco. According to information from the National Police Corps, they are in Spain illegally. One of them has been put through the process of being expelled.
The people who were arrested did the crimes in the second half of July last year on homes in different parts of the municipality of Elche. They are charged with five thefts.
Police started the investigation after people who had been robbed complained. Authorities have proven that the suspects watched the properties ahead of time to figure out the best time to rob them. They also took a lot of safety precautions, like driving on secondary roads, many of which were not even paved, through the Elche regions.
There was an investigation by the National Police Robbery Group. Its officers were able to figure out that one of the stolen cars was the one the suspects used to rob other stores.
The two men were caught after police found their home, where they parked their stolen cars, and where they kept the stolen goods.
One of the cars that was stolen had its license plates “doubled” so that it would not show up in police records as stolen when it was driven.

Arrests for intimidating witnesses

Three men have been arrested by National Police for threatening and abusing two young men in order to persuade them to change their testimony during a police inquiry.
The police inquiry began after a young man complained to officers that he had been beaten and intimidated by three acquaintances in order to induce him to withdraw a statement he had given to police in Benidorm on an investigation in which they were involved.
One of the attackers recorded the attack on a cell phone and threatened to use a knife to harm the victim’s buddy who was present at the time to prevent him from intervening.
Days before the incident, one of the perpetrators sent the victim many threats via a mobile messaging app, threatening to attack her if she did not change her statement. This made the victim extremely apprehensive and fearful of encountering these people on the street.
Another victim was attacked for the exact same reason
During the inquiry, authorities discovered a second complaint from another victim who had been threatened to falsify his statement before being surprised on the street and assaulted by a man who was also connected to the Benidorm investigation into the other accused.
Once all of the information about the incident had been gathered, officers from the Alicante Northern District Police Station’s Judicial Police group conducted a series of checks, which resulted in the complete identification of the three perpetrators of the first attack, as well as the perpetrator of the second victim. All of them were men aged 20 to 22.
Officers eventually discovered three of the perpetrators, who were arrested for alleged bodily harm and obstruction of justice.
Agents are working to locate and apprehend the other suspect in the event.
Following police investigations, the inmates were hauled before the Alicante Court of First Instance for duty.

Marcin, the Manchester butcher who attempted to hide in Alicante

Alicante, the province with the biggest concentration of non-Spanish people (27%), is a red sign for international criminals looking to conceal their activities. One of them could have been a dismembered butcher who, if not apprehended in Manchester, would be roaming the streets of Alicante.
Marcin Majerkiewicz’s case startled the English city with its ferocity. The 42-year-old Pole was recently convicted guilty of murdering, dismembering, and dispersing his roommate’s body throughout Manchester last year.
Manchester Crown Court concluded that Majerkiewicz murdered Stuart Everett, 67, before dismembering his body into 27 pieces and depositing his remains in various areas throughout Manchester and Salford over the course of a week in an attempt to conceal his crime.
Majerkiewicz was unemployed with 60,000 euros in debt, an obsession with violent horror, and a tattoo of the slasher film character Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
This gory incident almost brought Alicante into the picture, as it was discovered that the killer had been looking online for rental properties in the province to escape his troublesome life in the United Kingdom before being arrested.
Everett, whose parents were Polish, taught English to Polish immigrants, and Majerkiewicz was among his students. In 2017, he moved into his teacher’s home, where he stayed with another man until the day of the incident.
Human remains
The relationship soured in 2024. The cause is unknown: it may have been a fight, an argument, or the dissolution of a more intimate relationship between the two. What Manchester Police do know is that on April 4th, last year, the first human remains were discovered in a nature reserve, sparking the inquiry.
A check of security cameras revealed the Pole as the primary suspect, with photos showing him carrying an 18-kilogram sack of human remains.
Stuart’s family, who do not live in Manchester, did not report him missing. This is because Majerkiewicz used Stuart’s identity for around three weeks after the murder. He sent them WhatsApp messages, birthday cards, and gifts. Stuart’s family was misled into believing he was still alive while he attempted to improve his life on the Costa Blanca.
Rebecca Macaulay-Addison, a specialist Crown prosecutor from the Crown’s Complex Case Unit, stated that “Marcin Majerkiewicz murdered Stuart Everett before making a despicable and disturbing attempt to cover his tracks by disposing of Mr. Everett’s remains.”
“Majerkiewicz not only stole a loved one from those caring for Mr. Everett; his subsequent actions almost certainly exacerbated his pain and suffering,” he continued.
Detectives analysed security cameras and mobile phones to identify Majerkiewicz’s visits to secluded places in Salford and Manchester for the purpose of depositing human remains.
These excursions included remote regions, waterways, and rural parks. Detectives discovered Stuart’s remains or DNA at six spots after conducting extensive land and marine searches in 19 areas.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lewis Hughes, the investigation’s chief investigator, described it as a case of “exceptional complexity and magnitude, with detectives initially responding to partial human remains found deep within an isolated woodland.”
“From the beginning, we said we wouldn’t give up, and the victim and her family remained at the forefront of our minds and actions throughout the entire process,” according to the detective.
Majerkiewicz was arrested on April 25th, 2024. Following a two-week trial at Manchester Crown Court, he was found guilty of murder and is set to be sentenced to life in prison on March 28th.
