GUARDIA Civil have arrested two men suspected into breaking into several properties in Antas on the Costa de Almeria.
The Guardia said the detention of the 53-year old J.R.S.C. and 19-year old J.R.S.T. followed an investigation involving surveillance operations and controls to gain valuable information which was launched in response to a series of robberies.
The Guardia also highlighted the role if technology which allowed them to identify the two suspects, adding that both were already known to the authorities and have lengthy criminal records for very serious crimes, including sexual aggression, illegal arms ownership and homicide.
In the latter phases of the investigation it became clear the pair were focusing on properties in isolated locations to minimise the chances of being surprised, meaning they were having to widen the radius in which they operated. Also that they were carrying out the break-ins during the daytime.
