Arrest for threats with stolen firearm in Alcantarilla
According to El Confidencial, National Police have arrested a man in Alcantarilla accused of unlawful possession of weapons and serious threats. The incident occurred following a prior dispute between residents, when the suspect arrived at the home of the complainants in his vehicle at high speed at the entrance, forcing them to step aside to avoid being hit.
At that moment, the individual displayed a pistol, made death threats to those present, and fled the scene. National Police officers subsequently located him on Calle Mayor in Alcantarilla driving a car. During the intervention, they seized a large knife and a firearm.
Verification of the firearm's serial number revealed its illicit origin: it was listed as having been stolen days earlier from a home in the Murcian locality of El Rincón de Seca. The arrested man has been placed at the disposal of the authorities for the crimes of unlawful possession of weapons and serious threats.
