These are two minors and one adult. The three suspects were taken into custody. They are suspected of vehicle theft.
“We are not facing an organized, structured gang. They are more people who steal for opportunity. They were capable of stealing a car and going to the sea for two days with it to change their daily life. In short, not big bandits”, contextualizes a source close to the file.
