Dismantling of construction theft gang in San Miguel de Salinas

The Guardia Civil dismantled a criminal organisation dedicated to thefts from building sites.

Authorities in San Miguel de Salinas reported the theft of about 600 wooden planks, worth several thousand euros, prompting an investigation. The perpetrators used cars in a sophisticated way to blend in and do their crimes during the day without attracting attention.

The police identified the culprits as three males with long criminal records, two of whom were arrested and a third, in jail, who is under formal investigation. The Torrevieja judicial system is now prosecuting the suspects for stealing and belonging to a gang.
