A 67-year-old man from Madrid has been arrested for allegedly breaking into cars near the beaches of San Pedro del Pinatar, according to The Leader. The Guardia Civil and San Pedro Local Police linked the suspect to six thefts from parked vehicles in the area, with the same method used in each case: smashing front windows to gain access.

The investigation began in late July following reports from residents and tourists about stolen belongings from their cars. A video provided by a local resident was instrumental in identifying the suspect, who was subsequently detained after being found inside another vehicle moments after its window had been broken. Police recovered a metal bar and a backpack with numerous suspected stolen items, including mobile phones, glasses, keys, wallets, and caps.

The man is currently being investigated on suspicion of six offenses of theft involving forced entry.
