The Guardia Civil, as part of the Police Operation Amygdala, arrested two men  in their 20s, suspected of carrying out a break-in at a gasolinera in Albolote. They are also suspected of using a stolen car for the crime and afterwards torching it in Belicena.

The burglary took place around 14.30h on September the 2nd, when the individuals allegedly smashed a window in the night-service area of the gasolinera to gain entrance. 

Once inside they reportedly stole an automated cash-payment machine containing nearly 1,800 euros in cash, as well as causing damage to a computer monitor and a point-of-sale (POS) terminal.

The business owners reported the crime to the Guardia Civil post in Armilla, which began the police investigation. Inspection of the CCTV images identified beyond doubt the vehicle used and the three perpetrators, all of whom were known, local bad lads involved in similar crimes.

The police operation also turned up that the said get-away car was one of two vehicles that had been stolen back in March in Padul. One of the vehicles was found shortly after its theft, while the second one, used to commit the burglary, was found completely burnt out on September the 18th in Belicena.

Two of the three suspects were arrested on the 19th of last month whilst the third, although identified, remains at large at the time of writing.
