The Guardia Civil have arrested a group of seven people in connection with a spate of house burglaries in the Alicante region. The arrests are linked to some 20 thefts carried out in the province, the receipt of stolen property, and the trafficking of firearms.
It comes as the last stage of earlier action by the security forces carried out last year which saw a previous 28 people arrested, most of them from Algeria and specialists in violent robberies from the inside of private homes.
The use of stolen credit cards was the link the police needed to make the new arrests which were made in Torrevieja and Elche. Those now held are aged between 25 and 55, four of them are Moroccan and the remaining three are from Holland, Romania and Spain. They were found to be in the possession of false British and French driving licences, as well as ten mobile phones and several tools of the trade.
