Bag thief arrested

Police have arrested a 63-year-old woman as the alleged perpetrator of the theft of a handbag and contents valued at €32,000.

At the beginning of August, a woman was travelling by train from Cataluña and put her bag in the overhead rack. When the train stopped in Córdoba, the woman left the carriage for a moment and when she returned the bag was gone. The bag contained cash, jewellery and various documents.

The detainee, from Cerdanyola del Vallés, was in the same carriage as the victim and her family on the same day. The alleged perpetrator was stopped two weeks later on a train travelling from Córdoba to Sevilla and police found virtually all of the stolen items in her possession.
