An investigation has been conducted by national police officers into a criminal organisation that operates in the provinces of Alicante, Valencia, and Murcia and is composed of Eastern European individuals who specialise in burglaries. In the town of Ontinyent (Valencia), the Alicante and Cartagena National Police conducted a joint police operation that led to the detention of two men, aged 29 and 33, for their involvement in a series of burglaries that were committed inside homes.
The investigation commenced following a complaint of a burglary at a residence in the city of Alicante. The identification of one of the perpetrators was the first step in the initial investigation, which subsequently revealed that the group was an organised criminal organisation composed of individuals from Eastern Europe who travelled across the country to commit crimes with complete impunity.
The group’s method of operation involved the use of lockpicks that they had independently constructed or adhesive on the doors to identify the presence of residents. They entered the homes without causing visible damage to the locks, and they stole jewellery, money, and valuables after they confirmed that they were vacant.
It was discovered that the perpetrators may be in the town of Torrevieja, where they typically reside, as a result of the coordination mechanisms between police units. Consequently, surveillance was implemented to monitor both the vehicle they were operating and their movements.
Officers pursued the suspects to the town of Ontinyent during one of the surveillance operations. Officers apprehended them as they were leaving a residence where they had recently committed a burglary. At the time of their arrest, they were in possession of a variety of stolen items, such as watches and jewellery, as well as tools that were used to force locks.
A check of the detainees’ residence in Torrevieja was conducted subsequent to their arrests. A significant number of valuables, watches, and jewellery items that were associated with other offences were confiscated.
The investigating court in Ontinyent (Valencia), which is on duty, brought the detainees before it and ordered both to be in prison.
The officers, on their part, conducted investigations into the impounded items to ascertain whether any were stolen. Numerous items were identified and promptly returned to their respective proprietors.
The arrest of these two individuals has resulted in the resolution of eight home burglaries that have been perpetrated in the towns of Alicante, Villena, Ontinyent, and Cartagena.
