The suspect is being held in Estepona after he was arrested in connection with five robberies in the area between November 14 and 23.

The 42-year-old was arrested at a bar close to where all the robberies took place.
After the arrest, officers searched his home and uncovered the stolen items as well as a gasoline cutter and an air compressor.
The arrested man, who was charged with a total of five robberies, is awaiting an appearance in the Court of Instruction number Four of Estepona.
