In a recent case in Tenerife, three people have been apprehended by the National Police for allegedly stealing gold bars worth 12,000 euros from a residence in La Laguna. The theft occurred amidst ongoing renovation work at the property.
The investigation was initiated following the homeowner’s report of the missing gold bars, which were kept in the house. During the renovation, various workers had access to the premises, prompting the police to focus their inquiries on those individuals.
The homeowner had hired a manager for the renovation, who then employed several workers. The police investigation traced the gold bars’ journey, revealing they were sold at different gold-buying establishments across northern and southern Tenerife.
Two individuals were identified and arrested for allegedly selling the gold bars. The police successfully recovered the stolen items, valued at approximately 12,000 euros.
