National Police has arrested another seven members of an organised crime group which was specialist in burglaries and the theft of and from vehicles. The first phase of the ‘Pinchazo’ operation took place at the end of September, and saw the arrest of 18 at the time, facing some 40 charges. The new arrests have solved another 20 burglaries on the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca. All the seven new arrests were made in Málaga, and are made up of six Romanians and an Italian. Three property searches on the Costa del Sol have resulted in 3,000 €, 1,000 pounds sterling, 1,000 dollars, jewels, 22 watches of top names and more than 20 mobile phones. One of the techniques the group used was to manipulate the tyres of cars parked at service stations and then pass by to help the driver, and then steal items from inside the vehicle. Police say the organization worked in separate and well coordinated ‘brigades’. Agents from the UDEV Central Robbery Unit of the judicial police, group 1 of the UDYCO organized crime squad in Alicante and the robbery group of the UDEV in Málaga all took part in the operation along with the Denía judicial police and the Provincial Citizen Security Brigade and UP from Alicante.
