A gang of 25 Romanians have been arrested by National Police in the Valencian Region , Madrid and the Balearic Islands .They carried out their crimes like a military operation and they specialised in robbing private homes and commercial establishments by splitting into teams and focusing on particular areas .
They also had a very sophisticated way of finding out about the security systems of houses and businesses .They used ultrasonic devices to neutralise guard dogs and had a huge array of tools to force doors and grills .They also had sophisticated frequency blocking devices which they used to disarm alarm systems .
All of the goods stolen were sent to a central storage area where they were either distributed for selling or transported to Romania .The operation which led to their arrests started in Valencia where the gang operated in three units and it acquired information from people who worked for their targets .Some of those arrested operated out of Denia and Oliva .
The police are now looking at a backlog of unsolved crimes which could be linked to this gang.They are also looking at cases where victims were forced to open safes by the use of violence and also to give their PIN numbers by the same violent means .All of those arrested have been remanded in custody .
