His modus operandi was always the same. I spotted establishments where there was only one employee; He entered the store with his face covered and placed his order; when I was going to pay, Taking advantage of the distraction, he took out his gun to intimidate the seller until he handed over the money from the register.
As footage from a grocery store showed, in one of his crimes he used a knife. In another of his misdeeds, he used a gun that he had hidden in his clothes. Likewise, and as reported by the Mossos, the man had already been arrested in early November for two violent robberies in a hotel of the city.
