Bank robber arrested in Alicante enjoying a drink in a nearby bar after the robbery

Another man was arrested in Seville after leaving his house keys behind in one of the properties he had burgled

A forgetful thief is in custody in Seville province after accidentally leaving his house keys behind in one of the houses he had burgled. His target was an urbanisation in Huévar del Aljarafe, where he stole 22 gas boilers and the electrical installations from 31 of the 32 properties on the development.

36 year old D.G.B., who lives in a property adjacent to the urbanisation, was identified by the Civil Guard when one of the keys on the set he had accidentally left behind him was found to fit his front door. Europa Press reports that he has a previous criminal record.

In separate case in the Benalúa district of Alicante, a 46 year old man, also with a criminal record, was arrested after committing a bank robbery and then coolly walking into a nearby bar to order a drink. It happened this Tuesday December 28, the Día de los Santos Inocentes, the day in Spain when it is customary to play jokes.

As the bar owner told Diario Información, he at first thought he was the victim of a joke when the man, who had made no effort to disguise himself, slapped money and a gun down on the bar and ordered a rum and coke. His customer casually commented that he had just robbed a bank, boasting that he had bought the fake gun in a Chinese shop.

He was arrested moments later when police who were investigating the robbery came into the bar and took him into custody while he was still enjoying his drink.
