On March 17, the defendant accessed the third-floor terrace of a building on Menorca Street, in the La Granja neighborhood, and stole brand-name shoes worth 82.80 euros. He then went to a building on Carthagena Street, where he was about to steal an electric scooter from an apartment on the first floor when he was surprised by a 77-year-old woman and her daughter.

The judge found that the defendant’s responsibility in the two robberies was proven. He was wearing the stolen shoes when he was intercepted by a police patrol.
