Overview
- Police say a backpack containing earbuds with a tracker and a speaker was stolen on March 8 from a car on Zapateira after a window was smashed.
- Officers followed the earbuds’ signal to Balaídos, called the habitual driver to open his vehicle, and recovered the reported items inside.
- The suspect, identified as G. P. G., 43, was detained on suspicion of robbery with force after officers found glass fragments compatible with the victim’s shattered window in his car.
- He gave conflicting explanations for possessing the earbuds, first claiming a purchase that morning and later saying a relative had handed them over to avoid returning to A Lama prison.
- In a separate case, local police arrested two 24-year-olds over a shop theft of about €600 in goods after store staff tracked their movements and officers located them on Gran Vía and at Vialia.
