The National Police and Civil Guard in Malaga have apprehended the alleged perpetrator of several robberies that have taken place since January 20th. The crimes occurred in banks and gas stations located in La Línea de la Concepción, Jerez de la Frontera, Los Barrios, and Algeciras. The suspect had attempted to rob a bank in Marbella shortly before his arrest.

Details of the Crimes

In all instances, the crimes took place in establishments open to the public and were committed by the same individual. The suspect used various disguises to avoid identification. During his criminal activities, he brandished a firearm in a threatening manner. It was discovered that the suspect used a stolen van from Algeciras for some of his robberies.

The investigations focused on the stolen van and other evidence, which led to the identification of the alleged perpetrator. The suspect was characterized by a consistent modus operandi. After his identification, the officers prepared a plan to locate him.

Arrest of the Suspect in Malaga

At the time of his arrest, he was found in possession of a large axe, a crowbar, a balaclava, and a delivery trolley, clearly indicating his intention to commit another robbery.

Post-Arrest Findings
