Six arrested after robbery at jewellery store in Torrijos during train accident

In Torrijos, Toledo, the Civil Guard has carried out the arrest of six individuals, including three men, two women, and a minor. These arrests were made under the accusation of being suspected perpetrators of a violent robbery at a local jewellery store.

The robbery took place on October 28, coinciding with a deployment of personnel dealing with a train accident in Urda. During the assault, three robbers, with their faces covered and dressed in overalls, threatened and assaulted the owners of the establishment using a firearm. They stole jewellery worth an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 euros.

Deployment and vehicle location

Immediately after the robbery, the assailants fled in a vehicle. Several witnesses attempted to stop them, being threatened with death. The Civil Guard activated a search operation involving various units, including the Air Service, which was crucial in tracking the car used in the escape.

The investigations led to the identification of the vehicle, which had been stolen days earlier in a town in the Community of Madrid. After locating it on the A-5 motorway, the agents began to follow it until the vehicle deviated onto a rural road.

Results of the operation

The four occupants of the car abandoned the vehicle and set it on fire to eliminate evidence, continuing their escape on foot. However, thanks to the rapid action and coordination of the Civil Guard, they were intercepted and arrested, all of whom had criminal records.

The investigations continued, allowing for the identification and arrest of two more individuals in El Casar de Escalona. They were in possession of a backpack containing some of the stolen jewellery, valued at approximately 60,000 euros.
