A habitual offender, who was arrested by the National Police for three robberies at establishments in the city centre on Friday, May 9th, was provisionally released by the Alicante on-call court.
The National Police has implicated the arrested man, as well as a drug addict who was imprisoned this week for similar offences, in the spate of robberies at restaurants and other businesses in the traditional centre of Alicante. Calls for increased vigilance from the Government Subdelegation were prompted by the pervasive social alarm that these attacks caused among business owners.
The National Police apprehended the now-released detainee after he was apprehended by a cleaning woman while attempting to rob a cafe in Alicante.
Investigators from the Judicial Police of the Central District Police Station have charged him with two robberies that were committed in establishments where the thief was captured on security cameras, in addition to this attempted robbery.
According to sources familiar with the investigation, the detainee is currently awaiting trials for numerous robberies and has a history of multiple criminal offences.
This detainee was released on parole late this morning, as the on-call court did not order a prison appearance for him. According to sources familiar with the matter, the police are confident that they will apprehend him for additional robberies in the near future, as his criminal activity persists. They have a comprehensive record of him.
The thief’s method of operation involves the use of a bollard or any blunt object to break store windows and glass. He steals any valuables or cash in the store after the glass is damaged.
