Hit the group that perpetrated a robbery with hostages in a bank in Murcia

ALICIA NEGRE

Three months later, the National Police has managed to name two of the three robbers who last October sowed panic in a bank office located on Juan Carlos I Avenue in Murcia.This body has stopped five alleged members of the band who, armed with guns, assaulted this branch and, after handling six employees and four clients with flanges and locking them in a room, fled with a loot of up to 344,335 euros.Two of the assailants of the Murcia office have already entered provisional prison and the researchers now try to stop the third involved in the robbery, a sixth member of the group.

After this blow, which surprised by the serenity of his performers, was a group originally from Italy - concluded by Naples - with family ties and specialized in the big robberies to banks, as explained by body sources.Thanks to their blows - mainly to Murcia -, its members had reached a high train of life that allowed them to regularly enjoy expensive restaurants, opulent hotels and the rental of luxury chalets on the Spanish coast for up to 2,000 euros per month.

The five detainees - three of them arrested in Cartagena and the other two in Barcelona and Orihuela - drag a back of the background by other robberies and robberies in Spain, Italy and Belgium.In addition, one of them - supposedly involved in the robbery of Murcia - used counterfeit Italian documentation.

Thanks to the international police cooperation channels, the agents verified their true identity and found out that it was a person with a history in Italy since the late 1970s. In addition, the sources explained, he was wanted in that country for homicide, theft, illegal possession of weapons, injuries or kidnapping.This individual had been sentenced by the Italian justice to 14 years in prison in relation to the crimes of theft, kidnapping and association to commit crimes.

The blow to the Bank of Murcia was the starting gun of an operation that has kept the National Police very busy in recent months.The researchers quickly noticed that the robbery with hostages in Juan Carlos I kept a great resemblance to another perpetrated one month before in Alicante.On that occasion, two men entered with guns to a bank office but could not consummate the robbery due to the resistance that employees and customers opposed, managing to stop one of the authors.

Analyzed the security cameras of the entity during the robbery of Murcia, as well as the statements of witnesses and victims, the agents verified that they spoke Spanish with foreign accent.The Police also highlights that they showed "a serene attitude" and that they managed to "control all people inside the bank with apparent ease in a small time."The network acted perfectly coordinated, demonstrating high professionalism and great experience, according to sources.

With that data, the police did not take long to link a blow with another and both with a group of robbers of Italian origin.The band moved every two per three of the city, settling in various homes of the Catalan coast, Alicante, Murcia and Malaga.At the beginning of December, the agents located part of the members of the family clan in a Marbella hotel.Next to them, the sources explained, there was a man who kept a great physical resemblance to one of the three authors of the Murcia robbery.The investigations uncovered that he was one of the children of the robber stopped in the coup in Alicante.Later, the investigated abandoned Orihuela to settle during the Christmas period in another villa, this time in an urbanization of Marbella.

After Christmas, and after returning the group to Orihuela, the police decided to exploit the operation.The thing was in a hurry because, in mid -January, the researchers realized that one of the vehicles rented by the network began a trip to Barcelona.One of the clan's women tried to embark in the port of the city but she could not do it because she did not have the necessary negative Covid test, staying in a hotel in the area.Given the possibility that this woman left the country the actions rushed.

The agents registered homes in Orihuela, Barcelona and Marbella in which numerous clothing and other accessories used in the robbery commission - glasses, caps, bags or gloves - intervened, falsified documentation, and more than 49,000 euros in 50 and 100 billseuros.Specifically, 47,000 euros were located at Orihuela's home in a key channel, inside a garbage bag, in 100 bills packages, as they were organized in the bank where they were stolen.It was apparently the part of Murcia's loot that had not yet been cast.
