A group that specialises in computer fraud is broken up after complaints about cars purchases

A group that specialised in cyber-fraud crime like identity theft and document forgery has been broken up by the Civil Guard.
Three people have been arrested in Madrid after an investigation that began with a complaint from a car sales company in August of last year. The company said that it had seen fishy activities going on in dealerships in Elche, Torrevieja, and Orihuela, all in the southern part of the province of Alicante.
The accused fraudsters put up false ads on a real estate website, offering properties on good terms to get people who wanted to rent apartments to fall for their scam. To do this, they gave a lot of personal and financial information to prove they were financially stable. The thieves then used this information to ask for loans and pay for cars.
The group was able to get four cars worth more than 180,000 euros, and they were also trying to get more loans worth more than 300,000 euros. Because the Civil Guard moved quickly, these loans did not go through.

Two rescued after being trapped by rising sea levels near Denia

As the weather improves, the time changes, and summer draws near, more people will be rescued from the most picturesque—yet most inaccessible—locations in the area. Every year, the tendency remains consistent. The first rescue occurred yesterday, Sunday 30th March, when there were already a lot of people visiting this region.
Two young individuals were caught by the rising tide in Cova Tallada, one of the most popular caves in the Marina Alta, and were rescued by local police from Xàbia and Dénia, as well as firefighters from the Provincial Fire Consortium and Civil Protection. It is situated on the border with Dénia, the town that is typically used to enter this cave, beneath the Montgó rocks.
Given how choppy the sea was, it was a dangerous situation. A visit to the cave isn’t precisely advised in those situations because it can turn into a death trap. The youngsters only sustained minor scrapes as a result of the successful procedure. The excellent coordination that went into the rescue has been commended by the police.

Eleven years sought for woman counterfeiting 500€ notes

According to the High Court of Justice, a woman suspected of forging currency has been summoned to trial by Section XI of the Provincial Court, located in Elche, this Thursday, 3rd April. She is seeking an eleven-year prison sentence for the offence.

The public prosecutor’s summary of events states that a bank filed the complaint against the woman in 2020 after it was found that workers had detected the deposit of counterfeit banknotes totalling €500 into multiple ATMs of a company from a bank account. Businesses that handle a lot of cash frequently deposit huge sums of money through ATMs, particularly on weekends.
A woman was recognised as a suspect after the National Police launched an inquiry. The investigation found that she established a shell company. She was able to open a checking account with the bank using the company’s details. After that, the woman took money out of certain ATMs and deposited money at others. The bills she got were clearly authentic, whereas the deposits were fake. The case filing doesn’t explain where these bills came from.
