Overview
- The Guardia Civil disclosed Tuesday it is investigating a 52-year-old Portuguese man as the suspected author of a staged burglary at his ex-partner’s home in As Neves.
- After a report on April 9, officers found a ladder under a bathroom window and a cut mosquito screen, but their first inspection showed the ladder was unused and no door or window was forced.
- Investigators say the man had keys to the home, knew where valuables were hidden, and went straight to two concealed spots inside.
- About €24,000 in cash and roughly €5,000 in jewelry are missing, according to the Guardia Civil’s account of the case.
- The suspect lives in Portugal, and the Guardia Civil says the case remains open and notes prior breaches of a 200-meter protection order.
