The investigation began after the victim reported the theft. Officers identified the two suspects and the vehicle they allegedly used to leave the scene, then traced them to a holiday rental apartment in the Malaga municipality of Casares.
One suspect resisted arrest
Officers set up a surveillance operation around the property, which ended with the arrest of the two suspects. One of them put up violent resistance and had to be subdued by the officers involved in the operation.
After officers brought the situation under control, they searched the apartment with prior judicial authorisation. They found part of the stolen cash inside.
