The National Police and Calp Local Police have arrested five individuals who were part of a gang dedicated to the forceful robbery of luxury watches, just before they could leave the town.

Officers from the Udyco (Special Unit against Drugs and Organized Crime) of the National Police, in collaboration with the Calp Local Police, acted swiftly to apprehend the criminals. They had specialized in assaulting their victims and snatching valuable watches from their wrists.
The gang's location in Calp triggered a lightning-fast operation. Officers could not waste a second, as the thieves were about to leave the town to continue their robberies elsewhere. Coordination was key to the success of the arrest.

"The rapid coordination between units has allowed for the arrest (of the gang) and prevented the possible commission of new crimes."
