According to a statement from the Armed Institute, the Civil Guard has detained two males in connection with a pending theft case. The suspects are accused of taking gourmet goods worth over 1,700 euros from a Calp (Alicante) store.
Agents from the Civil Guard’s Investigation Department in this municipality of Alicante conducted covert surveillance on the morning of February 26th after noticing “suspicious behaviour” by a man inside a car stopped in front of a nearby supermarket.
A few minutes later, someone else walked out of the store with a backpack full of merchandise, hastily loading everything into the car’s trunk.
The officers then stepped in, recognised the two people, and searched the car. Numerous packages containing gourmet goods, such as fine canned seafood, Iberian gammon and particular pieces of beef, were discovered inside.
The Guardia Civil officers verified with the local supermarket that the items had been stolen and had not been picked up because the accused could not provide proof that they had bought them. The officers recovered the stolen goods and made arrangements for their donation to a charity, which was thereafter in charge of distributing them.
On the morning of February 27th, the detainees—two males of Romanian nationality, ages 40 and 59—were taken before the Dénia (Alicante) on-call court. They had prior convictions for comparable offences in other provinces. After that, they were freed on bail.
