Guardia Civil officers have arrested a woman in Callosa de Segura, Alicante, who allegedly made payments totalling more than 11000 euro using a bank card belonging to a 78-year-old woman.
The investigation, named ‘Operation Hagivas’, began after the 78-year-old woman filed a report regarding numerous unauthorised charges on her bank account, which came to an amount exceeding 11000 euro, as explained by the law enforcement body in a statement.
Given the complexity of the case and the high volume of operations, officers conducted a detailed analysis of the movements associated with the card, studying more than 3000 transactions. Between the authorised and rejected payments, the total investigated amount exceeded 75,000 euro.
The events took place between December 2025 and March 2026 across various shops in several municipalities within the Vega Baja area, including Callosa de Segura, Cox, Granja de Rocamora, San Isidro and Albatera.
During the investigation, officers analysed footage from security cameras at the businesses where they made the payments. This allowed them to identify the woman and proceed with her arrest as the alleged perpetrator of a fraud offence. The proceedings have been placed at the disposal of the Instruction Section of the Instance Court of Orihuela.
