Twelve Ecuadorians, aged between 16 and 23 were arrested by National Police in Orihuela on Wednesday. At least six of those detained are believed to be a member of the ‘Latin Kings’ gang.
It follows a large street fight seen in the town which broke out at 1,30pm on Wednesday. Several alarmed locals phoned the police about the fight which was close to the Santo Domingo college in the city.
Several National Police cars went to the scene and cordoned off the area, so that later they could identify and detain those involved.
Those involved in the fight had come from Callosa de Segura in Alicante, from La Murada in Orihuela, and from Orijuela town centre, apparently to attend a party in the home of one of them. However it seems an argument turned into a fight on the street.
Police recovered several brass knuckles and other sharp objects linked to the Latin Kings. They say that at least six of the group has been arrested before and now they are at the disposition of the Minors’ Court or Instruction Court Number One in Orihuela.
It comes after the publication of a report from the National Police has warned this week about a ‘significant increase’ in Latin American criminal gangs in Spain.
