The Guardia Civil arrested two men, suspected of stealing numerous copper and brass grave adornments within Nigüelas cemetery. The theft took place on the 28th of September with the combined value of around 5,800 euros.

It was the Armilla, Guardia Civil post that took charge of investigating the theft who immediately inspected scrap dealers in the metropolitan area of Granada.

These inspections came up with items at such an establishment in Padul that coincided with those stolen. Furthermore, the suspects reportedly carried out the theft during the day when the cemetery was open and a witness saw the two men, aged 31 and 48 leaving the premises and made a note of the car details.

Thanks to this information provided by the eyewitness, the police were able to identify the vehicle and subsequently, the identity of the two individuals, both of whom have criminal records for theft in the Dúrcal area, thanks to both being pointed out by the witness during an identity parade at the police station.
