Arrest at Trampolín following assault on three young people in central Ceuta car park
According to ceutaahora.com, Ceuta Local Police have arrested a man whom they believe committed a crime of robbery with violence and intimidation against three young people at the entrance to an underground car park located in the heart of the city.
The investigation took a decisive turn when officers received a photograph of the suspected perpetrator. The image allowed them to identify the suspect and direct their enquiries towards places where he could be found.
Officers followed various leads about his possible movements until they located him in the area of Trampolín beach, where a food distribution was taking place at that time. There they verified his identity: the photograph provided earlier matched his characteristics, so they proceeded with his arrest.
The incident dates back to the early hours when the three young women were about to access a vehicle in the car park. A man apparently attempted to snatch the handbag of one of them.
The situation escalated into a struggle during which the young woman fell to the ground and suffered injuries to her arm. The intervention of her companions apparently prevented the assailant from completing the robbery, forcing him to abandon the scene and flee on foot.
The arrest represents progress in the proceedings opened following an incident that had caused concern among the victims, particularly due to the violence used during the robbery attempt.
