Police detained a group of six people believed to be the gang responsible for a spate of burglaries in the Manilva and Estepona area.

The gang, ranging in age from 21 to 40 and including 4 Albanians, a Bulgarian and a Rumanian, are thought to have carried out at least 10 burglaries, targeting luxury homes in the early hours of the morning and gassing the occupants to render them unconscious whilst they looted the house and stole valuables and cars.

The gang were apprehended after an investigation by police, codenamed Operacion “Green”, culminated in offices raiding two houses and recovering 5 luxury cars, along with jewellery, cameras and cash.
