The Mossos d'Esquadra police force has arrested four people accused of forming a criminal group specialized in robberies in Arbeca and Lleida and selling the loot online.

The investigation, carried out by units from Mollerussa and Caldes de Montbui, led to the arrest of three men and one woman in February. The suspects, aged between 22 and 35, were based in Vallès Oriental but targeted agricultural estates and industrial warehouses in the Ponent region.
The group is linked to at least five robberies involving motorcycles, tools, and jewelry. In one instance, they allegedly burned a stolen vehicle in les Franqueses del Vallès to destroy forensic evidence. The stolen items were later identified on second-hand trading websites.
The detainees have been brought before the duty court in Granollers as the investigation into their digital sales activities concludes.
