Repeat Offender Jailed for Storm‑Spurred Car Break‑Ins in Valladolid as Police Report Separate Arrests in Granada and Plaza de Colón

Police highlight opportunistic break-ins using basic tools after the storm, prompting swift court action plus ongoing inquiries.

Overview

  • A young man in Valladolid was remanded to prison after a judge reviewed his arrest for three forced entries into storm‑damaged vehicles reported over the weekend.
  • Police say the detainee has 25 arrests this year, and investigators seized a screwdriver, a glass‑break hammer and two backpacks with school items tied to the vehicles.
  • Officers identified additional cars with broken triangular windows and are working to locate owners of at least ten more vehicles, leaving open the option of further charges.
  • In a separate incident in Plaza de Colón on Friday, officers detained a suspect accused of cutting a lock to steal an electric scooter and injuring the owner; evidence including the cut lock and cutting pliers was collected before a judge ordered his release.
  • Police in southern Granada arrested a 25‑year‑old woman after finding two forced locks and a screwdriver in a residence, while a second woman allegedly involved left before officers arrived and remains under investigation.
