Three Arrested For Robbery And Arson In Orihuela

The National Police have arrested three men aged 43, 25 and 34 in Orihuela who are accused of breaking into a house, stealing and then setting it on fire because of an alleged debt by the owners.

The owners of the house, located in the Oriolan neighbourhood of Los Capuchinos, went to the National Police Station in Orihuela to report that they had been victims of a robbery at their home and the house had been set alight.

Aspecialist unit from the Scientific Brigade travelled to Orihuela and carried out an inspection of the property that determined the fire had been started deliberately, after the agents found combustion accelerants inside the home.

They learned of debt between the victims and a neighbour, with whom they had confrontations and repeated threats as a result of the debt.

The National Police then arrested three men that were accused of a crime of robbery with force, and arson.

The 43-year-old Spanish man was the main instigator of the fire, having induced two colleagues, Spaniards aged 25 and 34, to carry out the attack for a small fee.

The two perpetrators broke into the property when it was empty. Once inside, they stole personal effects, including a video console, a bicycle, a television, a mobile phone, and cash.

They then used a chemical accelerator, yet to be determined, to set the house on fire and fled.

The Blue Flag Quality Symbol is flying once again over the beach at Cala Mosca after it was removed three weeks ago by Inspectors from the Aceac Foundation.

The order to provisionally remove the flag was taken following the detection of a ‘spill’ of unknown origin. The Councillor for the Coast, General Manuel Mestre said, "On a visit we made to the beach, we saw an effluent spill and, as a precaution, the flag was removed while its origin was investigated".

Now that the analysis of the water and sand is back it was confirmed on August 8, that the water and sand from Cala Mosca once again had an “excellent” quality. The councillor added that "the work of supervision and control of the beaches will continue to guarantee their quality and be able to offer Oriolanos and visitors one of the greatest attractions of the municipality".

All three detainees were placed at the disposal of the Orihuela duty court.
