This is the moment police busted a gang accused of carrying out a €2million crime spree across Spain.

The Policia Nacional arrested nine suspected members for allegedly ramming stolen luxury cars into jewellery shops, blowing up cash machines and robbing electronics warehouses at knifepoint.

The force has linked the group to 53 alleged offences, estimating the value of the stolen goods and the damage caused at €2million.

Seven suspects were arrested in Valencia, one in Bailen, in Jaen province, and one in Murcia. A judge ordered five of them to be held in custody, including the two suspected ringleaders.

Police say one of the alleged leaders tried to escape by jumping over a fence at his home. Officers found him hiding in a storage chest beneath a mattress.

From jewellery shop ram raids to cash machine blasts

The investigation began in December 2025 after a ram raid at a shopping centre jewellery shop in Sagunto, Valencia.

The raiders used three high-end vehicles and made off with €217,000 worth of jewellery.

Investigators say the Valencia-based group, whose members had family ties, went on to target cash machines using a method known as the ‘pizza slide’. The suspects allegedly fashioned a tool from an orthopaedic crutch to slip an explosive device through a cash machine’s dispensing slot.

In one botched raid, the blast damaged the premises and cars parked outside. The suspects left empty-handed.

Police also accuse the gang of threatening workers with knives at logistics centres and stealing electronics worth €500,000.

Rural property used as a hideout

The group allegedly used a rural property in Castellon to meet before and after raids and to stash stolen vehicles and goods.

Police say the suspects stole luxury cars from streets and dealerships, fitting them with stolen number plates before heading out in the early hours.

One of the cars was valued at around €200,000. The raiders allegedly wore dark clothing and covered their faces, using fire extinguishers to obscure traces that could identify them.

Officers searched nine properties in Valencia and Castellon, seizing two firearms, eight bladed weapons, six imitation weapons, four vehicles and €6,000 in cash, as well as jewellery and stolen electronics.

The investigation remains open and police say further arrests are possible.
