An off-duty Guardia Civil agent recognised two men wanted for allegedly committing several theft offences at Ibiza Airport, leading to their arrest.
According to the Armed Forces, on June 26th, an agent assigned to the main post in Sant Josep was enjoying her day off in a cove in the municipality when she noticed two men acting suspiciously. Disguised as bathers, they were observed to be keeping an eye on the belongings of the other bathers.
On approaching, the Civil Guard realised that these were two criminals wanted for a multitude of careless thefts at Ibiza airport.
They immediately notified the on-duty patrols and the ROCA Team, who verified that the two men, aged 40 and of North African origin, were indeed the individuals wanted for their involvement in an itinerant gang dedicated to robberies and thefts.
These two arrests have helped to clear up several criminal acts, with the stolen objects amounting to approximately 10,000 euros in value.
Some of the stolen items have been recovered and returned to their rightful owners.
