Two men aged 21 and 31 have been remanded in custody after allegedly attempting to rob an 86-year-old woman in Torrevieja and leaving her with serious injuries.

The incident took place on 25 March at around 9pm in the town centre. According to the Guardia Civil, the suspects tried to snatch the woman’s handbag, causing her to fall to the ground. She suffered a broken arm and other injuries, and later required surgery. She is now recovering at a relative’s home.

Witnesses at the scene intervened, preventing the men from taking the bag. The suspects fled but were later located nearby following descriptions provided by members of the public. Officers found items including glasses and a cap allegedly used to conceal their identities.

Both men have been brought before the Investigating Court in Torrevieja, which has ordered their provisional imprisonment without bail while enquiries continue.
