A British resident is tied up, gagged, beaten and robbed in his home in Malaga
A British man in his 60s a resident of Malaga, is being treated in hospital after he was tied up, beaten, and robbed in his home in Alhaurín el Grande in the Guadalhorce valley earlier this week. His attackers demanded to know “Where is the money?”, leading police to believe that they knew there was a considerable amount of cash in the property.
The thieves fled with around 12,000 euros in cash, which the victim had received as a deposit for the sale of his property since he was intending to return to the UK.
The man was dining alone at around 10:00pm when the assailants came into to the house after breaking down the door. The man put up resistance to the thieves, but they soon tied him up and gagged him, and then repeatedly beat him demanding to know where the money was.
Eventually, the victim had no choice but to tell them, and once they had it, they left, leaving him tied up. Fortunately, the man managed to get free and alert the police, who in turn, alerted the health services.
An investigation has now been opened by the Guardia Civil, who are also looking into a series of other burglaries that have taken place in the area over the last few weeks. Police have revealed that the victim of the most recent incident is a close friend of another British man whose home was ransacked and robbed earlier this month, although it is unclear if the incidents are related.
According to the descriptions of the attackers given by the victims of some of the recent burglaries, police believe they are being carried out by three young Spaniards wearing ski masks to hide their faces.
