Two men, ages 26 and 28, were caught by National Police in Elche (Alicante) on suspicion of breaking into eleven homes while people were inside. They were taken before the judge and told they would be going to jail.
The National Police’s specialised team for robberies started the investigation after getting several reports from people in the northern part of the city. People in these cases said that their homes were broken into while they were sleeping.
The thieves took a lot of expensive things, like mobile phones, watches, computers, credit cards, and cash worth more than 11,000 euros.
A trend emerged when the cases were looked at: the thieves got into the homes by climbing, and they chose homes on the first and second floors. They also broke in at night to make sure the people who lived there were asleep.
During the investigation, it was found that the attackers were caught off guard by the people living in the houses twice, and they quickly ran away when they were found.
It was also found that stolen credit cards were being used fraudulently to get up to 1,000 euros from an ATM.
Police searches helped them figure out who the two suspects were, and once they found them, they arrested them. When their home was searched, electronics and clothes that were used in the thefts were found.
The were taken to court in Elche, where they were told they would be sent to jail.
