Pretrial Custody Ordered in Granada Robberies Targeting Elderly and Murcia Burglary Spree

Police say evidence trails through pawnshops plus security cameras sped the identifications.

Overview

  • In Granada, a 27-year-old repeat offender was re-arrested as the alleged perpetrator of multiple violent snatch thefts against elderly women inside building portals.
  • Investigators linked him to additional July–August robberies in the Zaidín neighborhood and in Alcalá la Real after tracing pawn and second‑hand shop sales.
  • A prevention patrol detained the suspect in Granada’s north district on a judicial requisition, and a judge then ordered his entry into pretrial prison.
  • Police report that most stolen jewelry was recovered and returned to victims after matching items and CCTV images to the suspect’s transactions.
  • In Murcia, a man caught inside an Aljucer home with a backpack of stolen items was linked to five residential burglaries in roughly 24 hours in Los Garres and Aljucer, leading to his provisional detention.
