The agents verified that the

access

door to the establishment seemed

forced

and that the

cash register and some cabinets were open.

The Mossos searched the interior of the restaurant until they finally found the alleged thief hiding under a counter, behind the refrigerator.

He was a

40-year-old individual known to the police

for his long criminal record, who has more than 65 police records.

Given these indications, the agents arrested him and also charged him with

robbery with force

, on Thursday of last week, at a

pharmacy on Templers Street

, where its owners reported that the thief had broken the glass of the establishment and had taken the money from the box

The Investigation Unit of the Lérida police station considers that the perpetrator was the same thief caught in the restaurant and they do not even rule out that he may be accused of other recent events.

This Thursday, the detainee will be placed at the disposal of the investigating court acting as guard in Lérida.
