A 26-year-old man wanted by Austrian authorities for multiple liquor thefts has been arrested in Alicante, Spain. The suspect was previously sentenced to three years in prison in Austria after committing at least 11 break-ins at supermarkets to steal hundreds of alcoholic beverages. Austrian authorities issued a European Arrest Warrant for the fugitive after he fled the country, and Spanish police subsequently located him in Alicante.
The suspect worked with other individuals during the robberies, which were described as violent and forceful. The total value of the stolen alcohol across the 11 incidents is estimated to be around €30,000. The arrested individual is now undergoing extradition proceedings to Austria to serve his sentence.
