The subdelegate of the Government in Ourense, Eladio Santos, congratulated the Civil Guard this morning for the dismantling of a gang dedicated to burglaries in homes, highlighting its professionalism and the impeccable coordination between the different provincial commanders. Eladio Santos reported on this action of the Civil Guard, which was resolved with actions in the provinces of Ourense, Lugo and Pontevedra.
Eladio Santos reported on the detention of four people on 19 October, when they were preparing to assault and plunder a house in the Pontevedra town of Tui. “These people, currently in prison by order of the judge, were being investigated by the Civil Guard within Operation Jericho and are allegedly attributed to participation in 13 crimes against heritage, integration in criminal organization and documentary falsehood,” said the deputy delegate.
