The Guardia Civil (Spain’s Civil Guard) has placed two people under investigation in Albox over the theft of jewellery valued at €25,000 from the home of an elderly woman. The main person under investigation is the one who was responsible for looking after her, according to information from the Guardia Civil reported this Monday by La Voz de Almería, La Comarca and Noticias de Almería.
The investigation began with a complaint from a relative of the victim, who told officers of their suspicions about the carer because of the circumstances in which the events allegedly took place. Officers from the Guardia Civil in Albox focused their inquiries on her, a trusted person, and found that she had allegedly sold part of the jewellery at a gold buying and selling business, with the help of a second person.
According to the same information, the carer admitted her involvement in the events and handed over part of the jewellery, which has made it possible to recover some of what was taken. The two people are under investigation, one for an alleged offence of theft and the other for an alleged offence of handling stolen goods.
The Guardia Civil has used the case as a reminder of the importance of giving special protection to older and vulnerable people against possible abuses of trust.
