a band of pickpockets accused of hundreds of thefts in the metro and train stations in Barcelona. The Catalan police have recovered nearly 350 objects stolen by the group of thieves.
The Police have broken up an organized group of pickpockets are very active which was stealing in subway stations and train in Barcelona. It is suspected that the detainees may be related to several hundreds of thefts.
As explained by the chief inspector of the research area of \u200b\u200bthe Autonomous in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bRamon Grassa, 50/30 operation began in December and, although not yet finished, nine people were arrested - three of them are already in prison - and have recovered hundreds of items worth about 20,000 euros.
Detainees (Palestinian, Algerian, Iraqi, Romanian and most Moroccan who pretend to be Italian, French or Argentine to lure victims), are charged with 39 offenses and crimes of theft and robbery, but accumulated 142 total arrests in addition to 42 complaints by previous actions.
thieves acted primarily on the platforms and stairs to the Sants train station and Metro Line 4 of Passeig de Gracia and Barceloneta, where you usually find a lot tourists. Although theft is registered in more than 30% of the BCN metro stops, for example, Verdaguer, Fontana, Boixeres Can, Can Vidalet, Hospital Clinic, Entença, Drassanes or Urquinaona.
One of the strategies of these criminals to steal wallets is to pose as tourists of other nationalities. For example, ourselves, the locals do " by Barcelona " we have met more than once with a Moroccan boy with a shirt with the selection of Argentina or Italy's selection, saying it is an Argentine tourist or Italian, lost in Barcelona and need to be told as Barcelona and around the city to visit. When in reality, statistics de estos detenidos dice que algunos llevan mas de 15 años empadronados en la ciudad y estas no son mas que estrategias para hacerse con el botin. Despues, cuando el delincuente toma contacto con los verdaderos turistas y entra en conversacion con ellos, imitando un acento argentino o francés, al descuido o a la carrera, con o sin agresión, termina sustrayendo la cartera o alguna mochila a los turistas. Esto tambien daña la imagen del pais por la que el delincuente se hace pasar.
La segunda fase de la operación que llevaron a cabo los Mossos, consistirá en detener a los otros miembros del grupo que faltan y encontrar a las numerosas víctimas (muchas de ellas turistas extranjeros y que no denunciaron el hurto) mediante los objetos recovered. The Autonomous
have indicated that, at present, are charged to members of the band about 40 offenses, while not discounting that may be associated with a higher number of crimes. In fact, the regional police force is aware that the detainees fell apart quickly selling stolen items on the black market or sent to Morocco.
People of Staff by Barcelona in last December 2008, also suffered the theft of a wallet with cash and all documents Verdaguer station. The criminals were 3 this time with the Romanian side.
by Barcelona, \u200b\u200bis in favor of public transport safety and reduce crime in the subway of Barcelona.
