The Marina Alta has been one of the main scenarios where the agents have arrested the criminals of the organization and to whom the crime of continuous theft of medium to high-end cars has been attributed, for their subsequent falsification and illegal introduction into Spain. .
The operation began a year ago, when the first signs led the Civil Guard agents to the trail of a criminal group based in different parts of the provinces of Alicante and Valencia. The researchers found out that it was a perfectly structured organizationa, with a well-defined criminal methodology.
Later, they confirmed that, After stealing the vehicles, they made modifications to the frames and falsified the license plates passing them off as another vehicle of the same make and model. For this they used the information on damaged vehicles or that of vehicles in circulation, both in Spain and in other countries. They opted for popular selling mid-high range vehicles, which made it easier for them to market them, obtaining quick and high profits.
On March 6, the operation was carried out six records, two of them in the industrial warehouses in which they manipulated the frames and license plates, located in Benissa and Xàbia. The other four were carried out at the homes of the alleged perpetrators, en Dénia, Xàbia, Teulada and Gandia.

We already have enough scoundrels in Spain for them to come from outside, it should be possible to expel from the country all criminals who accumulate a number of crimes.
