Three males have been arrested by the Guardia Civil for their involvement in a robbery at a house in Agost as part of the Plan against Home Robberies. One of them is also accused of committing another heist at the end of the previous year in a posh residence on Madrid’s “Golden Mile.” The primary perpetrator of these incidents has been ordered to serve a provisional prison sentence by the legal authority.
After being robbed at her home, an Agost homeowner filed a report on January 18th, which sparked the investigation. By climbing inside and breaking through a window, the criminals were able to enter the property and take more than 4,000 euros in cash and jewellery.
Given these circumstances, the Guardia Civil of Novelda’s Investigation Area agents began an investigation to shed light on the crime. In order to identify the car used in the crime, they first studied footage from security cameras situated around the municipality and close to the residence.
The car was registered under the name of a 42-year-old Ukrainian national who leased 18 of his vehicles to unaffiliated third parties. Following the inquiry, an operation was conducted in the city of Alicante on February 6th; the person was found and taken into custody.
After more investigation, the driver of the car was identified as a 48-year-old Russian national who was detained in the town of Finestrat on suspicion of being involved in the incidents.
The heist was committed by the third suspect, a 45-year-old Georgian national with a history of property offences. Since he had no known address and no family, friends, or employment in Spain, it was very challenging to find him. He was also the target of a National Police search and arrest order for allegedly participating in a second heist at the end of 2024 in a posh residence on Madrid’s “Golden Mile,” when he took cash and a number of valuables.
Police intelligence investigation revealed that this person would be flying from Romania to Spain on the evening of February 22nd. His arrest in the arrivals terminal was the result of a special operation that was set up at the Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport in response to this information. The Fiscal and Border Analysis and Investigation Unit (UDAIFF) assisted the agents in this intervention.
The latter detainee, who is charged with two crimes of burglary inside a home, was placed at the disposal of the Court of Duty and Instruction of the Judicial District of Elche, which ordered his immediate remand in custody.
