Minors A center for 'menas' in Madrid from the inside: trials to rob by the 'mataleón' and concealment of crimes from the Police
The National Police arrested four men from the first reception center for minors at Casa de Campo in Madrid yesterday Thursday at six in the morning for two consummated robberies and another attempt of the same crime in the Lake area.
Two of the detainees are 17 years old, one 16 and the other 14. They are all Moroccan.
They are accused of breaking into an ice cream kiosk and a motorhome to rob.
They also tried to enter one of the restaurants in the Lake area, specifically in the local Villa Verbena, located on the shores of the pond, according to police sources.
It is now being investigated whether these minors are involved in other misdeeds committed in the area in recent weeks.
One of them, at least, was recently arrested for another robbery.
The four arrested were transferred by the agents to the Grume (Judicial Police Group of Minors).
At the time they committed the misdeeds
they should be in the first reception center
, located about two kilometers from the crime scene.

A warning was issued at the Securitas Direct alarm center for a possible incident in an ice cream kiosk located on the Casa de Campo Lake, specifically in the Fuente de la Piña area.
A guard went to the site and surprised three minors who were next to the establishment after fracturing the back door.
The cash register had been opened and some other items were missing.
In total they had taken 200 euros, ice cream and lottery tickets.
This employee notified the National Police who immediately went to the site and intercepted the four minors.
The adolescents carried some tools to commit robberies and various items of dubious origin.
The agents found out that they were also involved in the robbery of a motorhome parked next to the lake and that they
also attempted the same crime at the Villa Verbena restaurant, on the shore of the pond,
specifically at Paseo María Teresa 3. In this place they tried to force the robbery.

All their targets were within a radius of about 100 meters.
The arrival of several
conflicting men
at the first reception center is causing a wave of robberies in the area, according to a complaint from the Casa de Campo Unidos Neighborhood Association.
The residents indicate that the problems have occurred as a result of the entry into the center of several minors from the Canary Islands
and from the Hortaleza first reception center who allegedly attacked one of the professionals in this facility.
Salvador, the owner of the ice cream kiosk, pointed out yesterday that there is a basic problem that "is affecting businesses in the area and tourism. People who are robbed do not return and that affects us very hard.
Many businesses do not report the robberies for fear of reprisals from these minors
.
"That Ayuso fulfills his promise that they were going to take them away in November because we can't take it anymore," he said.
The Community of Madrid announced for this month of November the closure of
the Casa de Campo
ore center and its transfer to the Barajas district.
However, on October 14, the Minister of Social Policies, Concepción Dancausa, explained that
the move was canceled due to the current migration crisis and the measures adopted by the central government, which forced the regional Executive to "change the pace".
And it is that the "collapse" of resources forced all the autonomous communities, by government order, to receive minors from the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.
The Casa de Campo Unidos Neighborhood Association
regrets that they have had to put up with the closure of the youth hostel for four years
and the arrival of a group of
men
who have altered coexistence in the neighborhood, generating security problems.
"That they stop making excuses and work because we are fed up," they said from the neighborhood entity.
The situation is not new for businesses and residents of the country house.
In 2020, crimes increased by 600%,
businesses such as Venta del Batán have suffered close to twenty assaults,
the last one damaging the facilities, and in the Amusement Park there have also been cases of robberies committed by ores such as the one that occurred in the queue of the La Tarántula attraction, which ended with a minor detained because he lost his documentation in the escape and was identified.
