Four people have been taken into custody by the Guardia Civil on suspicion of participating in highway robberies in the province of Castellón. The offenders, who are also being investigated for other assaults on Alicante highways, have been apprehended in two operations.
Romania has issued a search and arrest warrant for one of the detainees on suspicion of attempted murder and serious injury. As a suspected member of a gang that committed violent robberies in AP-7 and A-7 service areas, he was apprehended during the initial operation.
In Castellón, the detainee was stopped on the N-340. Upon confirming his identity, it was also found that he had a second search warrant in Germany, court requisitions in Spain, and fabricated documents.
Along with these antecedents, the Guardia Civil has been able to connect him to a number of robberies, including two in Cabanes and six others in Burriana, two in the municipality of La Vila Joiosa in Alicante, and one in Benicarló.
Following the discovery of a pattern of assaults on these highways, where the perpetrators employed luxury cars for their escapes and movements, the inquiry got underway in February of last year.
As a consequence, three property-theft specialists who reportedly operated on the AP-7 and exploited rest stops and service stations were apprehended during the second operation.
When the agents were notified of a robbery in the town of Fuente de la Higuera, the investigations got underway. After locating the suspects, the operation led to their arrest.
Numerous stolen personal belongings and a sizeable sum of money were discovered in the car they were riding in. Their suspected involvement in at least ten robberies—two in La Vila Joiosa, three in Burriana, and five in Xeresa—is the subject of an investigation.
The Court of Nules and the National Court have ordered the four prisoners to be imprisoned after they were brought before them together with the processed reports. Officers from the Burriana Guardia Civil’s Main Post conducted the operation as part of the province’s communication routes’ surveillance apparatus.
