The collaboration between the Local Police of Espartinas and the Civil Guard has led to the arrest of four alleged members of a group that operated in empty homes during the summer. The municipality's cameras were key in clarifying the events.

The Local Police of Espartinas and the Civil Guard have arrested four individuals for their alleged involvement in several burglaries in empty homes across various locations in Aljarafe, including Espartinas. The investigation is ongoing and further arrests are not ruled out.

The incidents occurred during the summer holidays, when homeowners were away from their houses. The group would previously monitor the homes and place markers or witnesses at various points to check movements.

According to sources from the investigation, the suspects would even cut the electricity of the houses to verify if the owners returned. The municipal security cameras have been crucial in identifying those involved and clarifying the burglaries.

The mayor of Espartinas, Cristina Los Arcos, has praised the work of the Local Police in resolving these incidents.

"The collaboration between the Local Police and the Civil Guard has been decisive in the arrest of a group of individuals who allegedly carried out several burglaries in empty homes during the summer holidays in various locations in Aljarafe, including Espartinas"

The operation continues, and authorities do not rule out further arrests in the coming days. The detainees have been placed at the disposal of the judiciary.
