The National Police has arrested two young men for the theft of two motorcycles and a bicycle from a garage in Argana Alta. The vehicles, which the owner values at around 13,000 euros, have been recovered and returned to him, although, in the case of the motorcycles, they were "dismantled."
The robbery took place on January 20 and it was a neighbor who alerted about it, upon seeing the garage door open. "There was a neighbor who left his house around six in the morning and the door was closed, and then another neighbor, around eight o'clock, found it open," says the affected party.
However, the arrests did not occur until this Thursday, after the owner of the vehicles and his garage partner were "asking" around the neighborhood to find the thieves. "We have moved a lot, and between what we achieved and the Police, we have found them and we have found everything," says Francisco Javier Rodríguez, owner of the vehicles.
And, as he told La Voz, from the beginning he suspected that a former tenant of the garage could be behind the robbery because "the door was never forced". "And we believed it was with a key from that tenant that was lost, that no one knew where it was," says Rodríguez, who affirms that said key "was never returned to the owner."
The vehicles, found in two homes in the neighborhood
Specifically, as he explained, the two motorcycles and the bicycle were found in two homes in Argana, one of them where this former tenant of the garage lives. "One of the motorcycles, which was new, was completely disassembled and the other was not, but almost. The bicycle is the only thing they haven't touched, it was just as they took it," details its owner, who affirms however that "in principle it seems that all the pieces are there and that they have not suffered damage."
"We believe that they did not think it was going to have the repercussion that it has had on social networks and people searching, and that they were scared, they did not know what to do, and that is why they dismantled them, because apparently they had no intention of selling them," he concludes.
