A band made up of 10 Romanians, specialized in the theft of copper cables, has been dismantled by the Spanish police in the communities of Navarra and Cantabria. The operation, coordinated by the General Commissariat of Judicial Police, led to the arrest of all members of the group, who operated according to a well-organized plan. Investigators documented thefts that caused damages of over 80,000 euros, plus considerable material damages.
During the searches, the police discovered theft tools, prohibited weapons, and 9,000 euros in cash. The income obtained was transferred to Romania using the 'strumming' method, a money laundering technique. The ten suspects were presented to the court, and the investigation continues to identify other members of the network.
