The culprit in a string of break-ins at Benidorm’s hospitality establishments has been taken into custody by the National Police. According to police sources, he is accused of committing six burglaries at businesses around Levante Beach, which had raised serious concerns among business owners.
Officers started the investigation in mid-February after receiving information about a break-in at a hospitality establishment where the suspect allegedly forced access via the door frame and took a surveillance camera, two mobile phones and the cash register.
Five more reports that matched the stolen items and modus operandi were filed in the weeks that followed. Investigators ruled out the involvement of a specialised group after confirming that the burglar in some of these cases took bottles of alcohol.
Investigators were able to identify the offender, a frequent visitor to the area, following extensive investigations and with the assistance of the Scientific Police, who collected definitive evidence during Technical Police Inspections at the venues.
After identifying him, police found him close to one of the previously targeted businesses and took him into custody on suspicion of committing six burglaries. The 45-year-old man has a criminal history and was taken to Benidorm’s Judicial Authority after being arrested, and they finally decided to imprison him.
Mobile phones, cash registers, alcohol bottles, key sets, and cash totalling more than 2,000 euros were among the stolen goods. The suspect’s damage to windows, doors, and furniture is substantially greater.
