Source Summary
They operated in the early morning, in a van, taking advantage of the fact that the roads are full of delivery vehicles. One of them inspected the motorcycles parked on the street and, once the target was chosen, contacted by phone the driver of the van, who had previously rented it for the robbery. He approached the agreed location and parked in a discreet area while his partner removed the geolocation system incorporated into the motorcycle to make its location difficult. Minutes later, they loaded the vehicle inside the van and quickly left the area. This was the modus operandi of a specialized group that stole motorcycles in Barcelona and its metropolitan area. The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested two men as alleged perpetrators of 16 motorcycle robberies worth 104,000 euros, and a third is under investigation.
