Three arrested from Alicante eviction company

Six persons were taken into custody by the Alicante National Police on Monday after conducting two home invasion raids. In addition to the raid, three of the people detained are accused of coercion and work for a property clearance company.

The operation happened on Avenida Pintor Gastón Castelló in Alicante on Monday 24th March at approximately ten in the morning. A 091 report regarding a brawl in the street where multiple individuals were shaking each other was answered by citizen security patrols from the Provincial Police Station and the Alicante North Police Station.

Three employees of an eviction business who said they had been paid by the apartment’s owner to install cameras and alter the locks were arrested as a result of the operation. Despite being informed that no one was home, a 31-year-old Moroccan man who claimed to have lived there with his wife for six years showed up after they had gone inside and changed the locks.

When the police came, three of the six persons who had told them they were in the residence had departed. The detained include a 45-year-old Moroccan and two Spaniards, ages 34 and 25.

A second operation for breaking and entering also occurred on Monday at approximately 4 p.m. It happened on Calle Carratalá in Alicante, and three Algerians were taken into custody by the police for occupying a fellow Algerian’s house while he was on a month-long holiday in Algeria.

After receiving a tip about a fight on Calle Carratalá, patrols from the National Police’s 091 unit arrived to discover two individuals fighting with a third party who was leaning out of a window. A 33-year-old Algerian guy was interviewed by the authorities as they approached his home. He informed them that he had spent six years there. He gave them the rental agreement and claimed that he had entered his home through a courtyard after finding the lock was broken when he returned from vacation.

He went inside and found three squatters who had taken up residence in the building. The complainant’s presence was verified by the neighbours, who also detained three Algerian men—ages 43, 32, and 21—for trespassing.

21 expensive cars that were stolen in the U.S. were found Valencia port

Together with the US Container Security Initiative, the Guardia Civil and the Tax Agency found 21 high-end cars that were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to Africa in the port of Valencia. The cars, which were worth a total of €1.1 million, were reported stolen and were being moved in containers.

The cars were stolen in the U.S. and were on their way to different places in Africa, stopping in Valencia’s port. Risk analysis units made up of Guardia Civil and Tax Agency officers were able to find several packages that might not have had the goods that were claimed to have been inside.

With the help of the information gathered, it was confirmed that stolen cars that had been in Valencia on their way to the United States had actually arrived. The groups that ship stolen cars either traded legally declared cars for stolen ones or directly declared the stolen cars as other goods, like furniture or mattresses.

In the past few weeks, 21 vehicles have been found and will be sent back to their home countries to be given to their original owners.

14 immigrants were saved on a boat 45 miles off the coast of Alicante

On Wednesday, 2nd April, the Maritime Rescue ship Salvamar Leo saved 14 immigrants who were travelling in a boat about 45 miles from Alicante.

In the middle of the afternoon on Wednesday, Maritime Rescue sent out its Helimer 223 helicopter and the Salvamar Leo, which is based in Alicante, to save the people on a small boat.

Their journey began on the Salvamar Leo, which took them to the Temporary Assistance Centre for Foreigners in the port of Alicante. There, the Red Cross took care of them.

The Red Cross says that all of the refugees they saved were men, and two of them were younger than 15 years old. They were all healthy after being treated.

The National Police took over the refugees after getting help from the Red Cross. They are now trying to find the boat’s captain so they can arrest him, as is normal in these situations.

Dénia wrestler arrested in connection with a network that smuggled 300 kilos of cocaine from Ecuador

The National Police’s Drugs and Organised Crime Unit arrested a famous mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter from Dénia. He was part of a gang that was partly broken up in August over a shipment of 300 kg of cocaine from Ecuador that came into the port of Valencia. The fighter from Dénia is one of five people who were caught by police. Along with nine other gang members who were already in jail at the time, they are now in jail.

The man who was arrested in Dénia is thought to be the trusted man of the gang’s leader, who is also an MMA fighter, and the person who is said to have worked as a go-between in the operation.

Levante-EMV also says that the broken-down network is linked to another shipment of 490 kg of cocaine that came into the port of Valencia in April of last year.

The five people who were just caught went before Valencia’s Investigative Court No. 20 yesterday, April 3rd.
