Guardia Civil’s double success GUARDIA Civil officers in Javea are celebrating two successful operations to end a crime spree involving commercial and domestic burglaries. Three men have been arrested; two said to be responsible for 15 raids on businesses in the town and a third for 14 crimes at homes on the Montgo. Two Moroccan citizens, aged 29 and 25, were arrested by police after being traced to residential addresses where they were staying with friends. It is alleged they caused €6,100 in damage and stole more than €6,800 in cash as well as over €400 in drinks. A month-long operation ended the men’s crime wave. The burglars waited until businesses closed, forced entry through windows and doors, covering their faces to prevent them be recognised on CCTV cameras. And on Tuesday, Guardia Officers swooped on another Javea address to arrest a 25-year-old Spaniard who targeted homes on the Montgo at night, waiting for residents to go out to dinner. He was alleged to have stolen more

than €12,000 in cash, €7,000 in jewellery, as well as pocketing other property. On one occasion, there was a struggle as the owners of the house returned unexpectedly. The burglar escaped but dropped a mobile phone he had stolen and a receipt. Jumping a fence of the property, he was seen limping away – detectives later discovering he had injured himself on the
arrowhead-shaped tips of the fence. Realising the injured man would not want to draw attention to himself by going to a nearby health centre, officers expanded the search to 50km and were rewarded by discovering the identity of a suspect who had been treated for wounds to his leg. The shopping receipt – which belonged to the burglar – also placed him in the vicinity of the house at the time of the crime.
