Three Arrested for Stealing Credit Cards and Spending 4,500 Euros in an Alicante Shopping Center

The National Police have arrested two women and a man, aged between 77 and 25, of Chilean origin for an alleged fraud offense. This group had stolen credit cards from a person and made purchases worth 4,500 euros in a shopping center in Alicante.

The criminal gang employed a clear 'modus operandi'. They used rental vehicles to move between towns, stealing personal belongings and payment methods from individuals, and then making fraudulent purchases with the stolen credit cards in a nearby municipality.

According to a statement from the security force, the events took place in a well-known shopping center in Alicante. A victim reported that their belongings had been stolen, something that had already been reported, but their bank cards were being used at that moment.
