The National Police have arrested two individuals in Torrejón de Ardoz for an alleged home burglary, after they were caught in the act attempting to escape by climbing down the balconies.

The incident occurred in the early hours of April 20, when officers received a call from a neighbor reporting a possible robbery in a nearby residence. The witness observed at least one person, dressed in black and wearing a cap, gaining access to a first-floor apartment by scaling the balcony.
Upon arrival, police officers detected flashes of light inside the property, confirming the presence of several individuals. After completing the robbery, the suspects attempted to flee by climbing down the balcony onto the public street.

"The two individuals were intercepted by officers, who also recovered several screwdrivers and tools that had allegedly been used in the robbery and thrown into the street."
