Investigations began in mid-March, following a report from a victim who stated she had been approached by several individuals. They forced her, under threat of a bladed weapon, to withdraw money from a nearby ATM. During the assault, the victim suffered a violent attack that required emergency medical attention.
Subsequently, two other complaints with identical characteristics were filed, where victims were forced to hand over money and personal belongings through violence and intimidation.
“"The arrested individuals operated in the early hours of the morning and used similar methods in all their assaults."
The investigative work allowed officers to locate the suspects at the hotel where they were staying. After determining their active participation in the three reported crimes, the three individuals were arrested.
The detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, which has ordered the imprisonment of two of them. The National Police has highlighted the importance of citizen collaboration in clarifying criminal activities, providing information anonymously and confidentially through their official channels.
