Police coup in Almería. The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to committing robberies with great violence and intimidation, as reported by the body in a statement. The agents have arrested three people as alleged perpetrators of the crimes of robbery with violence and intimidation with a firearm in a game room in Roquetas de Mar.
The investigation began last May when the Civil Guard learned of a violent robbery in a game room located in the municipality of Roquetas de Mar (Almería).
Thanks to citizen collaboration, the agents in charge of the investigation were able to learn that the alleged perpetrators used a replica of an assault rifle, similar to those used by the Security Forces and Corps, to perpetrate the robberies. They violently entered the premises, intimidating customers, even assaulting one of the workers, breaking into several gaming machines and fleeing in a vehicle parked nearby.
Parallel to these arrests, the Civil Guard located the vehicle used to commit the robbery, driven by another of those now detained, who used false documentation at the time of his identification. After carrying out the corresponding inspection of the vehicle, the agents located the submachine gun used in the robbery.
As a result of the investigation, this criminal organization dedicated to committing robberies with great violence in Almería has been completely dismantled.
