The Mossos d'Esquadra, Catalonia’s regional police, have arrested a 34-year-old man with 38 previous criminal convictions in connection with three thefts committed over five days in Sant Celoni and Gualba, both in the Barcelona province.

The first incident occurred on 15 August when a man forced open a garage shutter in Sant Celoni but fled after the alarm sounded. On 16 August, another break-in took place at a company in Gualba, where the suspect rummaged through drawers and stole 1,870 euros.

Three days later, on 19 August, a handbag was stolen from a van in Sant Celoni. Investigators from the Mossos’ Urban Crime Unit, working with Sant Celoni’s local police, identified the suspect through their joint inquiry.

> The suspect is accused of two break-ins and one theft, all within a five-day window.

Authorities confirmed the man had a long history of criminal activity, though no further details about his past offences were provided in the official statement.
