Seven Thieves Desmantle Former Bank Branch in Comas

Security-camera review may identify the suspects.

Overview

  • Seven people forced entry and stripped wiring, electrical connections, air-conditioning parts and boxes from a vacant former bank on Av. Universitaria in Comas.
  • The attackers broke glass doors and used tools to enter before climbing to the second level and removing installed components.
  • The property had been empty for about two months, a vulnerability the owner says was exploited by the thieves.
  • Police are handling the investigation after the owner filed a formal complaint and are collecting nearby surveillance footage to try to identify the seven suspects.
  • The owner reports significant economic loss because rental income from the space was her main source of earnings and she now faces repair costs and lost rent.
