Guardia Civil Probes Safe Theft From ‘Camión de los Regalos’ Raffle Truck in Monesterio

The organizer says the safe held about 2,000 tickets plus roughly €65,000, with the stolen tickets to be excluded from the January 6 draw.

Overview

  • Security footage shows five masked intruders forcing entry around 03:12, removing a heavy safe in about two and a half minutes with pry bar and bolt cutters.
  • The thieves loaded the safe partially into a car’s trunk and fled via the Autovía de la Plata (A‑66), according to the videos shared by the organizer.
  • The Guardia Civil has taken charge of the case and is analyzing CCTV along with a getaway vehicle license plate as part of the investigation.
  • The reported losses and other details come from the organizer’s account, including an estimated 2,000 tickets and about €65,000 inside the safe.
  • Media reports note a discrepancy over the safe’s weight—approximately 300 kg in one account versus about 500 kg cited by the organizer—while the raffle’s prizes are promoted at over €300,000 with €7 tickets.
