Two armed males were detained by the Guardia Civil in Callosa d’en Sarrià, Alicante, for planning a violent and intimidating robbery in an occupied home.
According to the Guardia Civil the event happened on March 5th. The two arrested individuals, a Portuguese man and a British man, ages 56 and 64, respectively, were taken to court and held in detention without bail, they said in a statement.
Both are accused of wrongful imprisonment and attempted violent and intimidating robbery in an inhabited residence.
The Callosa d’en Sarrià Guardia Civil were able to respond quickly thanks to public help; its officers arrived at the location and took the two suspects by surprise. They both tried to escape but were caught and taken into custody.
Together with the Calpe Company’s Support Group (Alicante) and the Callosa d’en Sarrià Local Police, Guardia Civil officers secured the residence and inspected the surrounding area after the arrests.
An air gun, two Tasers, three self-defence sprays, balaclavas, gloves, masks, and a roll of duct tape were discovered during the search of the surrounding area. Additionally, a sizable rental van was found, which the inmates intended to utilise in their escape.
