The investigation began after a report of a robbery in a shopping center parking lot in Martorell. According to the victim, the perpetrators fled in a car, which was later tracked by officers to another commercial area in Molins de Rei.

When police attempted to identify the vehicle's occupants, three of them fled on foot, leading to a short chase that ended in their arrest. During the vehicle search, officers seized cash, various documents, and suspected stolen items, including one taken earlier that day in Rubí.

The detainees, who have prior criminal records for similar offenses, appeared before the Sant Feliu de Llobregat duty court on February 20.
