A theft from a professional bike shop on the road in Polima, Cascais in June 2019, in which four “cars” were stolen for a loss of 18,000 euros, led a PSP investigation to uncover a chain that sold bikes in Spain. and industrial tools stolen in Portugal. Seven men are already suspected of crimes with damages of 300,000 euros, suspecting PSP that they carried away more than one million euros.
Four bicycles stolen by three hooded men at 5:00 am from the Polima road were discovered by the Guardia Civil four months later in Badajoz. This was followed by a “very complex” investigation between the PSP and the Civil Guard, which since October 2022 has resulted in the arrest of seven suspects, three of whom have been placed in pre-trial detention.
The group was active in 2019 and 2020. They rented vans in Spain and came to Portugal to commit crimes in “pre-selected” shops selling high-end bicycles, industrial equipment and tools. This material was sold in Spain. Bicycles have been found in Portugal and Spain.
