SUSPECTED CAR DOOR CHECKERS IN ORIHUELA COSTA

Another resident has come forward with multiple Tesla Sentry Mode videos that appear to show suspicious individuals walking through residential streets and trying vehicle door handles in Orihuela Costa.

Three Separate Incidents – Three Different Locations

The footage was recorded at three separate locations:

Calle Tierra
Calle del Mar
A third nearby location just a short distance away

Despite being filmed on different occasions, the behaviour shown in each clip appears strikingly similar.

Checking Car Doors

In each video, a man can be seen approaching parked vehicles and appearing to test whether car doors have been left unlocked before continuing down the street.

There is no indication that he was looking for his own vehicle or had any legitimate reason to be checking multiple cars.

Working Together?

Perhaps the most interesting detail appears in the final video.

According to the vehicle owner, another man can be seen walking on the opposite side of the street. The two individuals then appear to meet at a nearby roundabout before continuing on.

While this alone does not prove they were acting together, it raises the possibility that they may have been coordinating their movements.

A Familiar Method

Checking door handles is a well-known method used by opportunistic thieves searching for vehicles that have been left unlocked. In many cases, they move quickly from car to car, taking advantage of simple mistakes without causing any visible damage.

Whether these individuals were simply testing doors or preparing to commit theft is ultimately a matter for investigators, but the repeated behaviour captured on camera is certainly concerning.

Do You Recognise Them?

We will publish the Tesla Sentry Mode videos in the comments.

If you recognise either of the individuals, witnessed similar activity in the area, or have CCTV or dashcam footage that may be relevant, please contact the Guardia Civil and feel free to message Crime Watch Orihuela Costa.

As always, remember to lock your vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for a few minutes. Many thefts occur without forced entry simply because a door was left unlocked.

CAUGHT AGAIN: CCTV CAPTURES SUSPECTED SERIAL BURGLAR IN VILLAMARTÍN – RESIDENTS SAY HE HAS BEEN TERRORISING THE AREA FOR OVER A YEAR

For many residents in Villamartín, this is no longer an isolated incident.

It has become a pattern.

Over the past year, homeowners have repeatedly reported a man who allegedly prowls residential streets at night, jumps walls, enters private gardens, checks windows and doors, and steals valuables whenever he gets the opportunity.

Now, new CCTV footage appears to show the same suspect back in action.

Caught in the Act

According to a resident of Calle Manuel de Falla, the suspect has been repeatedly seen in the neighbourhood for well over a month, although locals say his activity actually dates back to at least last year.

The latest incident happened only yesterday.

At around 3:19 a.m., the homeowner received a motion alert from their CCTV system. After checking the cameras, they reportedly saw the suspect jump over a wall and enter a neighbour's garden.

The resident immediately ran outside.

According to the witness, the man was allegedly trying to open one of the house windows when he was confronted.

The suspect immediately jumped back over the rear wall and escaped on foot before police arrived.

Police Respond Within Minutes

The witness immediately called the police.

According to the homeowner, Policía Local arrived within approximately five minutes, while several Guardia Civil patrols searched the surrounding streets in an attempt to locate the suspect.

The resident has confirmed that all CCTV footage has been handed over to the police and intends to file a formal denuncia with the Guardia Civil to support a criminal investigation.

Not the First Time

What makes this case particularly concerning is that residents insist this is not a one-off offender.

According to several neighbours:

- The suspect has allegedly been operating in the Villamartín area since at least last year.
- He has reportedly been seen jumping walls, entering gardens, checking doors and windows, and stealing valuables.
- Residents also claim he has stolen clothing from washing lines.

Several residents say they can immediately recognise the individual because he has appeared on their cameras so many times.

A Familiar Face

Crime Watch Orihuela Costa has reported on this suspected offender before.

Earlier this year, we published CCTV images after another burglary in which money, a mobile phone and a laptop were stolen while the occupants slept.

Since then, additional victims have come forward with remarkably similar accounts.

Taken individually, these incidents may seem unrelated.

Taken together, they appear to show a consistent pattern of behaviour involving the same individual repeatedly targeting homes in the Villamartín area.

The Importance of Reporting

One issue continues to frustrate residents.

Many people call the police when an incident occurs, but very few go on to file an official criminal report ("denuncia") with the Guardia Civil.

In Spain, this distinction is important.

An emergency call allows officers to respond to an incident, but a formal denuncia creates the official record needed for follow-up investigations and can help establish patterns across multiple cases.

Without victims making formal reports, repeat offending can be much harder to investigate.

Can You Help?

The latest CCTV footage clearly shows the suspect moving between neighbouring properties during the night.

We will publish the videos in the comments.

If you recognise this individual, have seen suspicious activity in Villamartín, or have CCTV footage that could assist the investigation, please contact the Guardia Civil and feel free to message Crime Watch Orihuela Costa privately.

Sometimes one video shows an incident.

Several videos from different victims can reveal a pattern.

And patterns are often what lead to arrests.

84-YEAR-OLD MAN MUGGED OUTSIDE HIS HOME IN LA FLORIDA – CCTV CAPTURES THE ATTACK

A disturbing incident took place at 00:11 last night in La Florida, Orihuela Costa, where an 84-year-old man was allegedly attacked and robbed outside his own home.

According to the person who reported the incident, the attacker violently ripped a gold medical alert necklace from around the victim’s neck, leaving the 84-year-old bruised, injured and extremely shaken. The necklace was not only valuable but also served as an important medical alert device.

The report also raises concerns about the emergency response. It is claimed that more than six calls had to be made before police eventually arrived at the scene. According to the report, when officers did arrive, they allegedly said there was little they could do at that stage other than request an ambulance for the injured victim.

The man was then taken to hospital, where, according to the report, he waited for around three hours before being told he was in the wrong department. He eventually had to make his own way home by taxi.

The entire incident was captured on the property’s CCTV system, and we will post the full video in the comments.

If you recognise the suspect or witnessed anything suspicious in La Florida around 00:11, please contact the Guardia Civil or Policía Local.

Crimes targeting elderly residents are particularly concerning. If you have elderly neighbours or relatives living alone, please check in on them, and if you see suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood, report it immediately.

HOLIDAYMAKERS RETURN TO HORROR SCENE AFTER KEY SAFE BURGLARY IN ORIHUELA COSTA

A holiday in Orihuela Costa turned into a nightmare for one family after they returned from an afternoon out to discover their property had been completely ransacked.

The incident reportedly took place on Calle Cabo de Gata, where burglars are believed to have targeted a key safe mounted outside the property, gaining access while the owners were away.

Everything Gone

According to the victim, the thieves stole virtually everything of value from inside the home, including:

* Holiday cash
* Passports and personal documents
* Jewellery
* Televisions
* Laptops
* Tablets

In a move that suggests planning rather than opportunism, the burglars also reportedly:

* Cut power to the property
* Removed CCTV cameras
* Left no usable video evidence behind

The Hidden Danger of Key Safes

The damaged key box, pictured after the burglary, appears to have been forced open, allowing the thieves to obtain the house keys and enter without attracting attention.

Key safes have become increasingly popular among holiday homeowners, rental properties, cleaners, maintenance companies and Airbnb hosts. However, incidents like this raise questions about how secure some of these devices really are when installed in visible locations.

More concerningly, once criminals obtain the keys, they can enter a property without breaking doors or windows, often delaying the discovery of the crime.

Police Response

The homeowner reports that police attended several hours later, inspected the property and advised them to contact their insurance company.

Because the keys stored inside the safe are now missing, the victims have also been advised to replace all locks immediately.

Warning for Property Owners

This incident serves as another reminder that criminals are increasingly targeting properties they believe are:

* Empty during the day
* Used as holiday homes
* Equipped with external key safes

Residents and holiday homeowners may wish to review their security arrangements, particularly if keys are stored outside the property.

A Growing Concern

While burglaries are unfortunately not new to the Costa Blanca, cases where offenders appear to deliberately disable security measures and remove evidence are particularly concerning.

For this family, the financial loss is significant. But perhaps even worse is the loss of passports, documents and personal belongings that cannot simply be replaced with an insurance payout.

Anyone who witnessed suspicious activity around Calle Cabo de Gata or who may have CCTV footage from the area is encouraged to contact the authorities.

Crime Watch Orihuela Costa will continue to monitor reports of burglaries and suspicious activity across the region.

THIEF CAUGHT ON CAMERA STEALING CHILDREN’S SHADE UMBRELLA IN VILLAMARTIN PLAZA

A disappointing incident has been reported at VP Amusement Park in Villamartin Plaza, where a man was captured on CCTV allegedly stealing a large sun umbrella from the children’s play area.

According to the business, the incident took place yesterday at approximately 3:51 PM, in broad daylight and in full view of security cameras.

Caught on Camera

The CCTV footage reportedly shows a man entering the area before leaving with one of the large umbrellas used to provide shade for children and families visiting the attraction.

Images released by the business appear to show the suspect carrying the umbrella away through Villamartin Plaza shortly after it was removed.

Not Just an Umbrella

While some may dismiss the theft as minor, business owners point out that these items are installed specifically to provide shelter from the intense summer sun for children using the play area.

Replacing damaged or stolen equipment ultimately increases costs for local businesses and affects visitors who use the facilities.

Appeal for Information

VP Amusement Park has asked the public for assistance in identifying the individual shown in the CCTV images so that information can be passed to the relevant authorities.

If you recognise the man or witnessed the incident, you are encouraged to contact the business directly or report relevant information to the police.

Community Frustration

The incident comes as many businesses across Orihuela Costa are preparing for the busy summer season, making theft and vandalism particularly frustrating for local operators.

For now, the search continues for the individual seen walking away with the umbrella.

Anyone with information is encouraged to come forward.

MAJOR POLICE INCIDENT ON CALLE CLAVO: SUSPECT ARRESTED AFTER ATTEMPTED ESCAPE ENDS IN CRASH

A major police operation unfolded today at around 11:00 AM on Calle Clavo next to the Repsol Garage at the Los Dolses Roundabout, after what began as a routine Guardia Civil control reportedly escalated into a dangerous vehicle pursuit and collision.

According to eyewitnesses at the scene, officers attempted to stop and control a person driving a black vehicle, but the driver allegedly refused to cooperate and attempted to flee.

Guardia Civil Vehicle Rams Suspect Car

The situation quickly spiralled out of control.

Witnesses state that during the attempted escape, the suspect vehicle was ultimately forced off the road after being rammed by a Guardia Civil vehicle.

Photos from the scene show:

* Heavy front-end damage to a Guardia Civil patrol vehicle
* Multiple damaged civilian cars
* A large emergency response presence across the street

The suspect was reportedly arrested at the scene immediately after the collision.

Large Emergency Response

The area rapidly filled with emergency services, including:

* Multiple units of Guardia Civil
* Policía Local
* Several ambulances

At the time of writing, the road remains at least partially blocked while authorities continue operations and assess the damage.

Residents Left Shocked

Witnesses described a chaotic scene as police vehicles surrounded the area and emergency crews moved in.

The incident occurred in broad daylight in a normally quiet residential part of Orihuela Costa, drawing large numbers of onlookers.

What Led to the Incident?

At this stage, authorities have not yet released detailed information regarding:

* Why the original control was taking place
* The identity of the suspect
* Whether weapons, drugs, or other criminal offences may have been involved
* Whether anyone sustained serious injuries

What is confirmed is that the attempted escape ended with a significant police intervention and arrest.

Developing Story

This remains a developing situation.

We will provide updates as more verified information becomes available regarding the suspect, possible charges, and the circumstances leading up to the crash.

Residents are advised to avoid the area while emergency services remain active.

MAN ARRESTED AFTER COASTLINE CHASE IN LA ZENIA – KNIFE THREATS AND ASSAULT REPORTED

A serious incident unfolded yesterday along the Orihuela Costa coastline, beginning in La Zenia and ending with a police arrest in Cabo Roig (Cala Capitán) after a coordinated pursuit.

According to an official statement from Policía Local de Orihuela, the situation involved violence, threats with a knife, and a foot chase along the coast.

What Happened

Police report that the suspect:
• Allegedly attempted to extort a victim
• Threatened the victim with a knife
• Physically assaulted and injured the individual during the confrontation

The incident is believed to have stemmed from a private dispute, but quickly escalated into a dangerous situation in a public area.

The Chase

When police patrols moved in, the suspect fled on foot, triggering a pursuit along the coastline.

What followed was a coordinated response:
• Officers tracked the suspect along the coastal route
• Additional units moved into position to cut off escape routes from higher streets
• The area around Cala Capitán (Cabo Roig) was effectively sealed

With nowhere left to go, the suspect was surrounded and stopped.

Arrest and Outcome

Police confirmed:
• The suspect was restrained and arrested at the scene
• The knife used in the incident was seized
• The victim received medical assistance for injuries
• The suspect is now in judicial custody

Why This Matters

This incident highlights how quickly situations can escalate in otherwise busy and public areas like La Zenia and the surrounding coastline.

Knife-related threats combined with physical violence pose a serious risk to public safety, particularly in areas frequented by residents and tourists.

Final Note

Thanks to a rapid and coordinated police response, the situation was brought under control before further harm could occur.

However, incidents like this are a reminder:

Stay aware of your surroundings — even in places that feel safe.

NIGHT-TIME INTRUDERS IN LAS RAMBLAS: TWO MEN CAUGHT JUMPING WALLS AND CHECKING PROPERTIES

Residents in Las Ramblas and surrounding areas of Orihuela Costa are being urged to stay alert after a suspicious incident in the early hours of the morning.

At approximately 02:00 AM, two unidentified men were captured on a residential security camera jumping over walls and moving through private property, appearing to check access points and doors.

What Happened

According to the eyewitness report:
• The two men entered the property by climbing over perimeter walls
• They were seen moving deliberately through the grounds
• Their behaviour strongly suggests they were checking for entry opportunities

Both individuals were partially masked (hoods up), but their faces and general appearance are still somewhat visible on camera.

Captured on Camera

The footage shows:
• One individual wearing a light-coloured hoodie and cap, standing inside the property
• The second dressed in darker clothing, actively moving and scanning the area
• Both acting with purpose and coordination, not randomly wandering

This was not casual trespassing — it appears to be a targeted check of the property, likely to assess vulnerability.

Possible Intent

While no break-in has been confirmed in this specific incident, the behaviour is consistent with:
• Attempted burglary reconnaissance
• Testing access points for future entry
• Opportunistic targeting of properties during night hours

These types of actions are often a precursor to later break-ins.

Wider Concern

The fact that two individuals are involved suggests organised activity rather than a lone opportunist.

Given the location and timing, it raises concerns that other properties in the area may have been targeted the same night.

Advice to Residents

Residents in Las Ramblas and nearby areas should:
• Ensure doors and gates are securely locked, even at night
• Check that perimeter walls and entry points are properly secured
• Use motion lights or cameras where possible
• Report any suspicious activity immediately to:
• Guardia Civil
• Policía Local

⸻

Final Note

This incident is a reminder that even quiet residential areas are not immune.

If you recognise these individuals or notice similar behaviour, report it. Early reporting can prevent further incidents.

WARNING: KNOWN AGGRESSIVE OFFENDER BACK IN LA ZENIA – REPEATED SIGHTINGS AROUND ZENIA BOULEVARD

A man who has been repeatedly linked to aggressive behaviour, threats, and suspicious activity in the La Zenia / Playa Flamenca area has now been spotted again after several months of absence.

Residents should take this seriously.

A Familiar Face Returning

This individual is not new to the area. Over the past two years, he has been seen multiple times around Zenia Boulevard, particularly:
• In car parks and underground garages
• Moving between vehicles and appearing to check or attempt to open cars
• Lurking in busy areas where people are distracted

The photos currently circulating were taken over the past years — but recent sightings confirm he is back, wearing a similar outfit and carrying a distinctive backpack with a silver sleeping mat attached.

He is easily recognisable.

Aggressive and Confrontational

This is not just suspicious behaviour.

Multiple witnesses have seen him acting aggressively, including:
• Shouting at visitors in the shopping centre
• Getting into heated confrontations
• Clashing with security staff at Zenia Boulevard

There are also repeated reports of him carrying a knife and threatening people, which significantly raises the risk level.

A Pattern Across the Coast

According to consistent reports, this man appears to be a transient offender, operating along the Costa:
• He stays in one area (like La Zenia) for a period of time
• Then disappears and moves along the coast, often towards Benidorm or other coastal towns
• After some time, he returns again

This pattern suggests a deliberate attempt to avoid attention or potential law enforcement pressure.

After a quiet period, he is now active again in this area.

What We Are Seeing Now

Recent sightings place him:
• Walking through Calle Niágara (Playa Flamenca)
• Around supermarkets and residential streets
• Again near Zenia Boulevard and surrounding parking areas

The behaviour being reported matches previous incidents.

Clear Advice to Residents

This individual should be considered potentially dangerous.

If you see him:
• Do not engage or confront him
• Keep your distance
• Immediately report any aggressive or suspicious behaviour to:
• Policía Local / Guardia Civil
• Zenia Boulevard security staff

⸻

Final Note

This is not speculation or a one-off sighting.

This is a known individual with a repeated pattern of behaviour, reported by multiple independent witnesses over several years.

He is now back in La Zenia.

Stay alert.
