The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia has developed the operation 'Yecha', an investigation aimed at clarifying a robbery with violence and subsequent homicide of a neighbor of Yéchar-Mula, which has resulted in the dismantling of a criminal group dedicated to committing robberies against drug traffickers.
After the operation, the Benemérita has arrested the five members of the criminal group, to whom the alleged authorship of the crimes of robbery with violence and intimidation, homicide, cover-up and belonging to a criminal organization is attributed.
The operation began last April, when the Civil Guard was alerted to the commission of a robbery with violence and intimidation in a house in the Muleña district of Yéchar, in which the alleged victim of the robbery died after being hit by a Shooting.
Being the alleged murder of a person, the Civil Guard activated the protocol provided for these cases, consisting of a wide deployment of human and technical resources in order to collect all possible evidence to clarify the facts and arrest their perpetrators.
The first investigations allowed confirming the commission of an alleged crime of homicide preceded by a robbery with violence and intimidation in two buildings of the town that, apparently, its authors had as a motive the subtraction of a marijuana plantation, among other effects.
From the first moment, the investigators carried out an exhaustive criminal study, based on the specific modus operandi and the means used, also taking into account that in recent dates similar acts had been committed in which great violence was used and weapons were used. fire.
Initially, civil guards established a double work strategy.
On the one hand they analyzed the illegal activity of the criminal group, and on the other, the crime of homicide was analyzed exclusively.
For the total clarification of the facts, the exhaustive analysis of all the collected evidence has been fundamental, which provided detailed information regarding the moment of commission of the wrongful act, number of authors and means of transport used, as well as information related to firearms. employees, costume elements and police-type objects that they fraudulently used (priority lights, vests, etc.).
Other inquiries allowed us to verify how the events could have been triggered, which finally ended the victim's life, whose main way of life was, presumably, the illicit cultivation of marijuana.
The criminal expertise demonstrated by the perpetrators, the complexity of this type of investigation and that some of those involved are unaccounted for has led to the clarification and detention of the alleged perpetrators of the events being planned in various stages, establishing an action strategy that favors that one phase does not harm the next, so until the operation is completed successfully.
The first phase of exploitation took place last September in Las Torres de Cotillas, where one of the suspects was located and detained for his alleged complicity in the commission of crimes of robbery with violence and intimidation in inhabited housing as a result of homicide.
A few days later, the Civil Guard arrested two other suspects, as alleged perpetrators of the same crimes, in prisons where they were held for other criminal activities of the group.
A new phase of exploitation focused on the identification and location of the rest of the alleged participants.
In this phase the investigators verified that one of the suspects, of Moroccan nationality, had fled to his country of origin a few days after the commission of the facts.
For this, he had the collaboration of a woman, also of Moroccan nationality, who was arrested as the alleged author of a cover-up crime in mid-November.
Finally, in the final phase of the operation, the Benemérita has located and detained in Murcia a male of Malian nationality as the alleged author of the facts investigated.
There is the circumstance that the last arrested person had continued to carry out, allegedly, criminal activities of the same nature integrated into another criminal structure.
Days before he was arrested in the Caravaqueño district of Archivel for his participation in a shooting.
The investigation shows that the members of the criminal organization now dismantled, at the time of materializing their criminal activity simulated being civil guards, exercising their actions with great violence, not hesitating to use firearms to achieve their ends.
They also had a large network of informants who provided information on the location of the different points of sale of drugs and marijuana crops.
An international arrest warrant is being processed on one of the alleged material perpetrators of the criminal acts investigated, who is fleeing in Morocco.
