At least four arrests in Alicante and so far this year there was a woman who could be arrested again after multiple complaints for committing “love theft” and violent robberies against the elderly in Spain.

To take advantage of the elderly, she toured several Spanish cities and thus also avoided being followed by the national police. The detainees, whose identity they did not reveal, “would have stolen jewelry worth 5,000 euros,” Telecinco reported.

That medium expanded that the suspect “even offered sex to deceive her victims.” The information about the arrest was communicated by the National Police Headquarters in a statement, Telecinco said.

What is the love hug or love theft

The detainee’s preferred modus operandi was to “approach her victims with the affectionate embrace method”. But violence did not completely rule it out.

The “loving hug” method consists of approaching older people in a surprising way through a hug, a moment used by the author or author to steal the jewelry, “explains Telecinco.

The victims, according to the researchers, were mostly people of “advanced age” or “limited mobility”.

El Diario de Alicante cited that these adults “described the events with the same method, the physical features of the author and the same excuses for approaching them, always in affectionate behavior.”

The stolen material consisted of high-quality gold jewelry, including watches.

The woman was left to the command of the investigating magistrate in Alicante. Before justice he has to answer the serious accusation: he, as a hunter, chose his target, “always older people, to try to evade possible identifications, change their accent and carry out the criminal act as quickly as possible.”
