A Guardia Civil is among a gang of nine Spaniards and Romanian burglars which has been active in the areas of Murcia and Alicante and which has now been caught by the authorities. The armed gang worked at night and threatened the owners of the properties they attacked, always successful businessmen.

The arrested Civil Guard was based at the barracks in San Javier in Murcia, and he faces an additional charge of the revealing of confidential information, being a member of the state security forces.
