The alleged authorship of the crime of theft is attributed to them
Citizen collaboration has been crucial to clarify the facts
La Benemérita has counted on the collaboration of the Local Police of Los Alcázares
The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia, in the framework of the operation 'Volvilla', has arrested a man and investigated a woman for alleged involvement with the removal of sewer covers and registration of the municipality of Los Alcázares.
La Benemérita began the operation last year, when it detected an increase in seizure of sewer covers and the registration of supplies in Los Alcázares, facts that had generated some social alarm among neighbors and affected companies.
The first investigations, developed in collaboration with the Local Police of the municipality, allowed to confirm the denounced facts.
Apparently, one or several people, who traveled with a tourism through different streets of the urban area, urbanizations and industrial estates of Los Alcázares, stole all kinds of metal lids, mainly those used for sewerage and the registration of supplies of water and electricity.
It is an illicit activity that, in addition to causing harm to the companies responsible for the management of this type of service, is a serious risk for pedestrians and drivers, since the absence of this type of objects can cause serious accidents.
Thanks to the collaboration of citizens, the investigators obtained indications about the persons that were presumably found after the authorship of the criminal acts, for which reason the investigation was continued in order to identify them.
Once all the necessary evidence has been obtained, the Civil Guard has established a search mechanism for two suspects, which has culminated in their location, arrest / investigation and subsequent legal action as alleged perpetrators of theft.
More than 50 stolen covers
During the proceedings, the Civil Guards have recovered a dozen stolen metal covers, although the investigation shows that those now detained / investigated could be found after the theft of more than fifty caps, which could have been marketed illegally. .
The Spanish arrested / investigated, of 35 and 36 years old, neighbors of Torre Pacheco and with antecedents for similar crimes, the recovered effects and the diligences instructed have been made available to the Court of Instruction of San Javier (Murcia).
