Police in Spain apprehend group of suspected former military thieves

The Spanish police caught a group of former soldiers from Eastern Europe who were stealing from fancy houses in the southern Málaga province.

Six people got arrested on Wednesday. One of them is believed to be the leader from Albania. A collection of jewelry, watches, money and weapons was discovered.

The gang is accused of stealing from 71 fancy homes and businesses, mostly in Marbella.

The police say the suspects were very good at stealing and breaking into places.

The police say that the people knew a lot about military tactics and were careful about their personal safety and watching for anyone who might be watching them while they walked or drove around. They would change their route or stop suddenly to avoid being followed.

“They were also taught how to enter any kind of building, no matter how tall the walls or fences were, and to move fast and get the job done well,” it says.

The person who is thought to be in charge is believed to have been involved in all of the robberies, and always had a gun with them. The police said he is very good at getting on boats and watching out for people spying on him.

The gang also went after houses in the city of Málaga, as well as in the towns of Estepona and Torremolinos.

In at least four of the robberies, the police said that the robbers used physical force.

The police caught the suspects with the help of a nearby business owner.

We don’t know the nationalities of the other five alleged gangsters.
