Guardia Civil catches shoplifting gang

            When the Guardia Civil stopped a Volkswagen Golf at 10 p.m. in Roquetas de Mar at a checkpoint making random inspections of cars passing, they came across more than they expected. After identifying the cars five occupants the Guardia Civil made an inspection of the car finding several articles of clothing, brand new and with the price tags still attached, they also found a suitcase and a bag, both of which were lined with aluminium foil – a method used to fool shops’ security systems, and containing more items of clothing. On searching the occupants of the car one of them was found to have yet more similar items hidden in the clothes he was wearing. A total of 12 articles of clothing were found with a value of 740 euros.

            Those arrested were identified as Gheorghe C., aged 23, Gheorghe S. R., aged 23, Buta L., aged 37, Cristian F. M., aged 27 and Lidia C., aged 29 and were said by the Guardia Civil to have histories of previous arrests for similar crimes.
