Resident arrested in Campo de Criptana following a series of night-time thefts and violent resistance to the Civil Guard

The Civil Guard has arrested a resident of Campo de Criptana to whom it attributes various property crimes committed in homes and establishments in the town, according to cadenaser.com.

The investigation stemmed from at least four burglaries and two thefts following a common pattern: the suspect acted mainly at night and gained access to the properties by breaking windows or climbing. The inquiries made it possible to identify him and also attribute to him three breaches of sentence and one damage offence.

During the arrest operation, the man hit one of the officers with an electric scooter and fled. The Civil Guard officers managed to restrain him shortly afterwards on a central street in Campo de Criptana, despite the resistance he put up. Already at police headquarters, he attempted to escape again, without success.

The final tally of charges includes four burglaries, two thefts, three breaches of sentence, two offences of resistance and disobedience, one offence of assault against law enforcement officers and one damage offence. The detainee also had three previous search and arrest warrants against him.

The District Court in Alcázar de San Juan has ordered his remand in custody following receipt of the report and the proceedings conducted by the Civil Guard.
