After taking out a large amount of cash from an ATM he tried to scam the bank in order to recover the money spent the previous afternoon

He allegedly spent a large amount of cash in a leisure establishment and tried to recover it by simulating a robbery

The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed an investigation aimed at clarifying an alleged crime of robbery with violence and intimidation inside an ATM of a Mula bank, which has culminated in the arrest of the complainant and alleged victim of the facts for allegedly simulating the crime and trying to defraud the bank with the recovery of cash.

Citizens of Prevention of Citizen Security of the Benemérita initiated the actions to verify and, where appropriate, to clarify an alleged crime of robbery with violence and intimidation committed in an ATM of a bank of Mula

According to the complaint filed, the events took place during the afternoon, when the victim accessed the inside of an ATM and was then assaulted by two individuals hiding his face with balaclavas and armed with guns with which they aimed at his head and forced him to provide his debit card and PIN code to operate with it at the cashier and withdraw.

Next, the complainant described how the assailants extracted a total of 670 euros with his debit card.

He also denounced that, in addition, he was robbed of another 400 euros that he carried with him at the time the events were committed.

The first investigations carried out allowed the civil guards to verify that there would have been no refund in the date, time and amount described by the complainant, verifying, on the contrary, that a total of eight extractions of small quantities were made, which would have been been carried out successively throughout the same afternoon.

At the same time, the investigators also verified that the complainant had spent an amount similar to the one reported as stolen from a public establishment in the town.

As a result of the investigation, the Civil Guard verified that in the time slot in which, allegedly, the facts had been committed, the complainant made several refunds, operations that he carried out with total freedom and without being intimidated in any way by third parties.

Once all the necessary evidence has been obtained, the Civil Guard has arrested the complainant as the alleged perpetrator of a crime against the administration of justice, for simulation of crime, and crime against patrimony in the attempt, for attempting to defraud the banking entity with the Request for the return of the allegedly stolen money.

The Civil Guard informs citizens of the criminal responsibility that involves reporting criminal acts that have never been committed, as well as the damage caused by detracting police forces to investigate false crimes that, in addition, usually generate great social alarm among the population, mainly, when robberies are reported with violence.

The Criminal Code establishes that who, before any judicial or administrative official who has the duty to investigate, pretends to be responsible or victim of a criminal offense or denounces a non-existent one, causing procedural proceedings, will be punished with a fine of six to twelve months.

The male, Spanish and 59-year-old detainee, together with the proceedings, has been placed at the disposal of the Court of Instruction of Mula (Murcia).
