Two arrested in Jávea for defrauding a disabled man of over 12,000 euros

In the town of Jávea (Alicante), two individuals, a man and a woman, have been apprehended on suspicion of perpetrating a fraud that exceeded 12,000 euros. A man with a mental disability is purportedly implicated in the crime.
The victim, who was accompanied by staff from a social-healthcare foundation with guardianship in the Basque Country, lodged a complaint, according to a statement released by the National Police on Saturday.
He disclosed to officers at a police station in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Álava) that he had been defrauded. He had been convinced to invest in alleged financial assets, according to the investigation.
The individuals arrested, who were 62 and 59 years old, recruited users through online advertisements that utilised the names of well-known brands or renowned individuals without authorisation. A pop-up window was initiated by clicking on them.
The scammer requested information in order to initiate an investment. Upon their determination to do so, the victims executed a “fraudulent” contract and were designated an investment agent who purportedly represented them.
He convinced them that they would generate substantial profits from the transactions. Additionally, he administered multiple-choice assessments that were designed to grant access to “exclusive and highly lucrative” investments.
Ultimately, they requested that they transfer funds to a bank account in order to initiate the procedure. The suspects claimed that it was impossible for the victim to recover both the invested money and the alleged proceeds after several payments.
They closed the account and feigned that the investment was a loss after a delay in order to execute the scam. The two purported perpetrators were identified at the conclusion of the police investigation.
They were both convicted of similar offences and operated out of Jávea. They were hauled before the Denia Court of First Instance on Duty.

Woman arrested after throwing two dogs from an eighth-floor flat in Alicante

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.

One killed in accident near the AP-7 exit at Ondara

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.

Residents of San Miguel demand more public housing

The San Miguel de Salinas Residents’ Association has filed an appeal against the final approval of the third revision to the SUS-A partial plan “Los Invernaderos.” This appeal comes after the group’s 21 objections were dismissed.
The alteration they oppose proposed increasing density and consolidating it in eight towers with ground floors and seven high-rise structures in the development’s proximity to the town centre, as well as situating social housing on the same land, they claim.
The number of dwellings in this partial plan has risen from 1,582 to 2,204 since its first approval. They protest that only 90 units are classified as public housing.
According to the association’s reasoning, the land earmarked for social housing should be 30% of the residential buildable area in the area, which equates to 48,886 m2. These 90 reserved homes total slightly over 11,000 m2.
According to the association’s statement, the legal department’s reaction is that this rule applies to “rural land that will be included in new development projects,” which is incorrect because the area is already heavily urbanised.
Another criticism raised by this group is that social housing not be concentrated on the same plot, as this would be a “segregationist” decision with no integration.
They also point out that the sector is divided into two half by a promenade, with no infrastructure connecting the two regions of development, allowing people to move more freely.
