A 40-year-old woman has been arrested in Benidorm for the theft of several bikes from garages in urbanisations across the town. Officers began surveillance after a number of reported thefts with the same MO.
Security cameras revealed the suspect was female and had distinct characteristics and so officers waited near to communal garages for the woman to strike again.
The same woman had also been caught on camera stealing costume jewellery from a shop in the centre of Benidorm and once arrested was also linked to the theft of a mobile phone from a bar.
