The remaining gang members are in custody after the initial 3 arrests after the Málaga robbery

An Italian gang of armed bank robbers responsible for a string of assaults on branches in Málaga, Alicante, Valencia and Murcia have been arrested by National Police following the earlier arrest in Málaga of three of the group.

Investigations then led National Police detectives to Granada province where the remaining two gang members were taken into custody at a service station in Loja. One of the two arrested there was the mother of another gang member and had a lengthy record in Italy for previous bank robberies.

The Interior Ministry gives the gang’s haul during the time they operated in Spain as more than 150,000 €.
