  "summary": "Three men, aged 20, 21, and 46, have been arrested in Orihuela following two separate investigations into violent robberies. The suspects used bag-snatching methods, including a chokehold technique known as the mataleón. The robberies occurred in different neighbourhoods and streets within the city, with victims ranging from elderly women to a man walking on a public street. The first investigation began after three women reported being violently robbed, with one incident involving an attacker targeting a woman as she entered her home. A second investigation focused on an assault on a man who was choked and beaten by two suspects. All three detainees were arrested and brought before Orihuela’s duty investigating court following the completion of police enquiries.",
