The Local Police of Martorell arrested a man last Saturday as the alleged perpetrator of a robbery with force after he was found hiding inside a wardrobe.

The alert was received at the command center of the Local Police following the activation of the alarm in a home. Several patrols quickly moved to the scene.
Officers gained access to the dwelling with the help of a neighbor who had the keys and began searching the interior. During the inspection, the police located the suspect hidden inside a wardrobe, proceeding immediately with his arrest.
Simultaneously, a neighbor reported a loud noise in an adjacent ruined building. This circumstance triggered a joint operation with the Firefighters and the Mossos d'Esquadra to rule out the presence of a possible co-perpetrator of the robbery.
Ultimately, the operation confirmed that the noise had been caused by the partial collapse of the roof of the abandoned building, without locating any other person involved in the robbery.
