The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed the operation 'SNIMKY', an investigation that has culminated with the dismantling of a criminal group, formed by four young people, who have been arrested as alleged perpetrators of at least four robbery crimes with strength in industrial buildings of Santomera.
The investigation continues open, although, until now, a camera, two lenses and other professional photography materials have been recovered.
The operation began last July, when the Civil Guard investigated a series of robberies committed in industrial warehouses located in the municipality of Santomera.
These events had generated some social alarm among businessmen in the area.
The coincidence in the type of stolen objects and the modus operandi used to assault the real estate made the agents suspect that it was the same group of people, young and agile, who materialized the thefts in a short space of time.
Once the traces of each of the crime scenes were collected and the possibility that the suspects could try to sell them through the Internet, the agents investigated until they located several similar products in pages of sale of second-hand products on-line
These inquiries were positive with the identification of several people, on whom a series of police surveillance devices were established.
Recently, these tasks have culminated with the identification, location and detention of four young men, aged between 21 and 24 years, residents of Beniel and Murcia;
and of Spanish nationalities (3) and Bulgarian (1), to which the alleged authorship of the crime of robbery with force (4) and belonging to a criminal organization is attributed.
At the time of their arrest they were seized a camera, two lenses and other professional photography materials.
Theft and sale of objects through the Internet
According to the investigation, those now detained formed a criminal group specializing in theft and sale, through Internet pages aimed at the purchase and sale between individuals, electronic products and other small.
Among them there were perfectly defined roles.
The alleged leader distributed the criminal tasks among the rest of the members.
While some were in charge of selecting the different stores, determining the viability to access effectively and materialize the thefts, others were in charge of looking for potential buyers, through social networks and online applications.
The operation 'SNIMKY' has culminated with the dismantling of a criminal group specializing in theft with force in industrial buildings, whose four members have been arrested for the alleged responsibility of, at least, four crimes of robbery with force, as well as belonging a criminal organization.
Those arrested, the effects recovered and the proceedings ordered have been made available to the Court of Instruction No. 1 of Murcia.
The investigation continues open.
