Overview
- Four residents of Tordesillas were detained under operation LOLOPA, with a Valladolid judge remanding three in custody.
- Investigators attribute roughly 20 robberies at hospitality venues in Valladolid and Zamora to the group between October and December 2025.
- A forced entry at a Villaverde de Íscar restaurant on Jan. 5 led to the suspects’ interception near Tordesillas and recovery of recently stolen items.
- CCTV analysis, witness tips, fingerprint evidence by the ROCA team, and home searches helped recover much of the loot, including goods sold at a Valladolid second‑hand shop from the La Santa Espina town hall theft.
- Authorities describe a highly mobile operation with reconnaissance, role distribution, and mechanical forcing tools, and the investigation remains open with further arrests possible.
