Overview

  • The operation targeted a gang that executed forced entries into isolated rural homes during holidays and weekends by cutting fences and forcing doors or windows.
  • Investigators disrupted the group’s logistics network, seizing rental vehicles with false documentation, encrypted phones and safe houses.
  • Officers recovered numerous stolen items including €12,400 in cash concealed in wall cavities, jewelry, electronic devices and burglary tools.
  • The investigation clarified about 150 burglaries across Málaga, Córdoba, Granada, Jaén, Sevilla, Cádiz, Cuenca, Badajoz and Ávila.
  • Judicial proceedings are now underway under the coordination of the Murcia and Ronda courts as the organisation remains fully dismantled.
