Brit arrested after a 10-kilometre police chase on the wrong side of the road

Guardia Civil

A police chase in Alcoy, Alicante, was anticipated with both exhilaration and fear. The A7 was the scene of a 10-kilometre pursuit in the incorrect direction, resulting in the arrest of a 49-year-old English man. The motorist was ultimately apprehended after colliding with numerous parked vehicles on Avenida Hispanidad in Alcoy, resulting in no injuries.

The Guardia Civil received a call from 112 at 6 p.m. regarding a vehicle travelling in the wrong direction on the A7, with the destination being Valencia. This initiated the incident. The driver proceeded on the N-340 towards Alcoy after exiting the road at kilometre 432, while being pursued by numerous police patrols. The driver caused significant alarm by travelling in the wrong direction on several streets in Alcoy during the chase.

As soon as the individual arrived at Avenida Hispanidad, he assaulted a police officer who was attempting to stop him. The police eventually intercepted the vehicle after it caused substantial damage to at least a dozen parked cars. Fortunately, there were no fatalities; only property damage was reported.

After testing positive for narcotics, police arrested the detainee for reckless driving and assaulting a police officer. The Accident Investigation Team of the Benidorm Traffic Police assumed responsibility for the matter. Raül Llopis, the Security Councillor of Alcoy, underscored that, despite the gravity of the situation, no injuries were reported. However, authorities will continue to investigate potential damage on other streets where the vehicle may have been operating during the incident.

Drunk driver who killed two sentenced to five years in prison

Elche Courts JUZGADOS DE ELCHE 01

The driver of a vehicle has been sentenced to five years in prison by the Seventh Section of the Provincial Court of Alicante, which is located in Elche. The incident occurred in the town of Cox, which is located in the Vega Baja region. The accident resulted in the deaths of two individuals and the injury of three others.

He was found guilty of two counts of negligent homicide and three counts of reckless injury, as well as a traffic safety offence involving driving under the influence of alcohol, in accordance with the sentence that was imposed after the parties reached a plea agreement.

The convicted driver is also subject to a seven-and-a-half-year ban. However, the injured parties are not compensated, as none of them submitted a claim and instead reached an out-of-court settlement with the defendant’s insurance company.

The incident transpired on the evening of October 24th, 2020. It happened on the N-340. The vehicle of the individual who has since been convicted entered the opposing lane and collided with a quad bike that was transporting the two victims.

The All Terrain Vehicle was ejected from the road as a result of this frontal impact, and it subsequently collided with another vehicle that was being driven by a couple with two children. Everyone sustained various injuries in the collision.

Two Torrevieja residents arrested after committing eight burglaries

An investigation has been conducted by national police officers into a criminal organisation that operates in the provinces of Alicante, Valencia, and Murcia and is composed of Eastern European individuals who specialise in burglaries. In the town of Ontinyent (Valencia), the Alicante and Cartagena National Police conducted a joint police operation that led to the detention of two men, aged 29 and 33, for their involvement in a series of burglaries that were committed inside homes.

The investigation commenced following a complaint of a burglary at a residence in the city of Alicante. The identification of one of the perpetrators was the first step in the initial investigation, which subsequently revealed that the group was an organised criminal organisation composed of individuals from Eastern Europe who travelled across the country to commit crimes with complete impunity.

The group’s method of operation involved the use of lockpicks that they had independently constructed or adhesive on the doors to identify the presence of residents. They entered the homes without causing visible damage to the locks, and they stole jewellery, money, and valuables after they confirmed that they were vacant.

It was discovered that the perpetrators may be in the town of Torrevieja, where they typically reside, as a result of the coordination mechanisms between police units. Consequently, surveillance was implemented to monitor both the vehicle they were operating and their movements.

Officers pursued the suspects to the town of Ontinyent during one of the surveillance operations. Officers apprehended them as they were leaving a residence where they had recently committed a burglary. At the time of their arrest, they were in possession of a variety of stolen items, such as watches and jewellery, as well as tools that were used to force locks.

A check of the detainees’ residence in Torrevieja was conducted subsequent to their arrests. A significant number of valuables, watches, and jewellery items that were associated with other offences were confiscated.

The investigating court in Ontinyent (Valencia), which is on duty, brought the detainees before it and ordered both to be in prison.

The officers, on their part, conducted investigations into the impounded items to ascertain whether any were stolen. Numerous items were identified and promptly returned to their respective proprietors.

The arrest of these two individuals has resulted in the resolution of eight home burglaries that have been perpetrated in the towns of Alicante, Villena, Ontinyent, and Cartagena.
