They are believed to be responsible for 50 robberies in the north of the province

The Civil Guard have solved a string of 50 violent robberies across Alicante’s Marina Baixa and Marina Alta with the arrest of 9 people across the border with Valencia, in Gandia and Beniarjó. All the gang members, apart from a woman from Honduras, are Kosovar Albanians.

The arrests took place this Tuesday when the six properties used by the gang were searched by officers from the Civil Guard, who seized a sawn-off shotgun, two pistols and 17,000 € in cash. A large amount of stolen items were recovered, including laptop computers, jewellery and watches, cameras and video cameras.

EFE notes that cocaine and cannabis were also found on the premises.
