Galician Police Crack Down on Chemical Robbery Ring

Culleredo Robbery: Four Arrested for Drugging and Stealing €12,000 A Coruña, Galicia – In a coordinated effort, the Guardia Civil in A Coruña and Culleredo have apprehended four individuals suspected of drugging a Culleredo resident and stealing €12,000. The investigation, launched on May 17th following a report of unauthorized bank transactions, uncovered a shocking method of operation. According to the Guardia Civil, the victim reported waking up after a night out with no memory of the events, only 'flashes' of people using his phone. Investigators determined that the suspects had administered a chemical substance to incapacitate him, then used his phone to access his bank accounts and transfer the funds. "The suspects were apprehended before they could leave the province," stated a Guardia Civil spokesperson in a press release. "This highlights the effectiveness of swift action and inter-agency cooperation." The four suspects, two men and two women, are now in judicial custody. The case underscores the growing concern over the use of chemical incapacitation in robberies.
