The Civil Guard has arrested three individuals allegedly responsible for four counts of forced robbery in businesses in Tres Cantos, which occurred between January and May of this year.

The incidents began in January with the assault on a restaurant. Several hooded individuals forced entry into the premises and stole the cash register, which contained 200 euros.
During the following months, three more robberies were recorded at pharmacies in the same town. The perpetrators operated at night, using a vehicle to break shop windows or force doors to access the cash registers.
Following the analysis of the evidence, investigators managed to identify three vehicles used in the robberies and the three material perpetrators. The Forensic Laboratory of the Madrid Command succeeded in identifying one of those involved.
The operation concluded with the arrest of three men, accused of crimes of forced robbery and belonging to a criminal group.
