Police Operations in Castilla y León and Murcia Yield Arrests in Van, Hotel and Industrial Thefts

Technology-guided policing produced swift recoveries across cases.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil used the van’s GPS to track a bread delivery vehicle stolen in Cuéllar, intercepting it on the N-122 after the driver reversed along the road and ignored signals; the suspect faces charges including vehicle theft, road safety offenses, and resisting authority.
  • Policía Nacional in Valladolid detained a man accused of stealing two hams worth about 490 euros from a hotel kitchen after entering restricted areas; he was questioned and released after the case was referred to judicial authorities.
  • A suspect was arrested in Valladolid for a spree of thefts in the San Cristóbal industrial estate, including packages, a handbag with cash, a phone, and workwear; he was later released with an obligation to appear in court.
  • In Murcia, police detained a man with 39 prior arrests for stealing food from a supermarket and forcing a car door to take items; a judge ordered his provisional imprisonment.
  • Separate actions included arrests in Vitoria for a supermarket robbery with violence and for assaults on officers, while in Ourense two people were detained over a July 30 street robbery targeting a busker’s takings.
