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.
