The National Police detains the thieves of the glue thread in the Valencian Community
National Police agents have arrested eight people in the city of Alicante, seven of Georgian nationality and one Slovak who formed a highly specialized roving criminal organization in crimes against property, mainly in the form of robberies inside address and who moved throughout the province of Alicante to commit these crimes, using the glue thread method, to mark the doors of the houses.
With this dismantling, 15 robberies inside homes have been clarified, three searches have been carried out in different addresses and another in a jewelry store that was used to dispose of the proceeds of the robberies.
Different inspections have also been carried out in gold-buying establishments, intervening in all these actions a large number of pieces of jewelry as well as specific tools for burglary.
The Criminal Organization was highly organized and structured at different levels. On the one hand, there were those in charge of locating the houses that would later be violated, for this they would visit the different cities of the province and at dawn 'mark' the doors of entire buildings with glue threads, in order to find out the next day if in these houses their inhabitants were inside or if, on the contrary, they had gone out to work.
Later, other members of the organization toured the marked buildings and were specifically in charge of entering the houses to rob. the addresses. In many of these homes, the owners did not realize the theft until the moment they went to look for the jewels from the place where they were kept and realizing that they were missing.
In a third echelon of the group were those in charge of selling the loot from robberies on the black market, mainly jewelry and valuables, and among them was a person who worked in a jewelry store, responsible for melting down the gold to prevent stolen parts from being recognized.

The investigation began thanks to citizen collaboration: a man who had seen a campaign from the Citizen Participation Delegation of the Alicante Provincial Police Station notified the Police /h2>
The police operation carried out began with a call to the 091 room in Alicante from a person who observed how two men could be manipulating the entrance door of a house. The caller recalled a campaign that the Delegation of Citizen Participation of the Provincial Police Station of Alicante had spread weeks before in the media and transferred to property managers to warn about the method of glue threads and communicated what What was happening to the police.
Immediately, a patrol from the Operational Response Group of the Central District Police Station went to the scene and was able to locate these people, beginning from that moment an investigation by the Specialized Crime Group of the Provincial Brigade of the Judicial Police of Alicante to identify and arrest all the members of this highly specialized and very active Criminal Organization.
The investigation has been complicated since the presumed culprits took great security measures in order to avoid being discovered, making police action difficult.
Very important on this occasion have been the inspections carried out by the Provincial Brigade of Scientific Police in the places where the glue threads appeared.
Once all the members of the criminal organization were identified by the agents, an important police device was established that managed to arrest them, preventing a red-handed act.
Many of the jewels have not yet been delivered to their owners. If you have been robbed lately, you can find out at the Alicante Provincial Police Station
Within the framework of this device, three searches were carried out in homes, two in the city of Alicante and one in the city of La Nucia (Alicante), as well as a search in a jewelry store-shop. In them, a large number of pieces of jewelry, gold and silver, watches, cash, various mobile phones, as well as a large number of specific tools and tools for robberies have been intervened. It should be noted that in one of the homes the investigators located a true workshop and warehouse for the manufacture of highly specialized supplies and tools to commit robberies in homes made at home and by hand. Right there the arrested carried out practices with said material to perfect their skills. The tubes of the material used to 'mark' the houses were also intervened.
So far, the detainees are charged with a total of fifteen burglaries at homes, nine in the city of Alicante and six in Elche, having marked hundreds of homes, the investigation is still open and it is not ruled out that Given the seized material, they can be charged with more criminal acts.
Many of the seized jewels have been returned to their rightful owners.
The detainees, several of whom already had police records for similar acts, were placed at the disposal of the Investigating Court of Alicante, ordering the admission of several of them to prison for these events.
Investigators have not yet located all the owners of the recovered jewels, so if in recent months you have been the victim of a robbery at your home, jewels have been stolen in the towns of Alicante or Elche and has filed a complaint, you can inquire at the Alicante Provincial Police Station in case your jewelery is among those recovered, so that it can be delivered to you if necessary.
