Burglary gang broken up in Sotogrande and the Costa del Sol: "Algeciras Guardia Civil has broken up what they say was an important gang of burglars who have been robbing luxury properties in the Campo de Gibraltar and Costa del Sol area in general and in Sotogrande in particular.
Eight arrests have been made, the majority of Algerian origin, in an operation codenamed ‘Jungla’. One of those arrested is Spanish and two of the other arrests were made in Benalmádena.
The head of the Judicial Police in the Guardia Civil, Eladio Gutiérrez, said the investigation started six months ago after a complaint was placed by a house owner in Sotogrande. He said the group was well organised and carried out extensive surveillance before acting, removing the valuable items in the properties they broke into.
Although they consider the case now closed, the Guardia Civil are still assessing the items recovered from several searches, including jewellery, firearms, false number plates and police ids, phone and other electronic equipment, and other items."
