In a joint operation by the Local Police and the Guardia Civil, three young males were arrested for attacking and robbing a young guy walking along El Campello’s Muchavista promenade.
According to municipal sources, security officers were mobilised after getting a phone call from a neighbour informing them of the event, which occurred around 3:15 a.m. Wednesday, May 14th.
The homeowner of Avenida Jaume I told the local police that she had witnessed three young males attacking and taking the things of another man as he walked along the Muchavista seafront towards the town centre.
According to the same sources, the young man continued on his route after being attacked, despite being in pain and terrified, while the perpetrators walked towards Alicante.
A few minutes later, a local police patrol found the victim near the Guardia Civil barracks. Civil Guard officers treated the young man after he sobbed and explained what had happened, while local police proceeded to Paseo de Muchavista.
They noticed four persons walking fast through the tunnel that connects the promenade to Calle Velázquez. The chase commenced, and considering the number of people to be pursued, a Civil Guard patrol was called for assistance.
After everyone was detained, a local police officer discovered the stolen things (including their cell phone) in the sand, which they dropped as they noticed the patrol car approaching.
The Guardia Civil responded swiftly to the victim, who recognised the perpetrators. The three males were detained for robbery with violence and assault.
According to the young man, one of the inmates grabbed his neck and threw him to the ground before beating him, while the other two immobilised him and took everything he was carrying.
The fourth individual engaged was a woman who did not directly participate in the acts and was therefore not detained.
