Excellent, a swift conclusion. Lets's hope the authorities don't "pussyfoot" about with this criminal and send out a message to others who may follow suit.

Here is the link Capturado tras nueve horas de búsqueda el atracador de la gasolinera del Port de Pollença » Noticias » Sucesos » Ultima Hora Mallorca, translation is a bit iffy but this is it :-

Night hunting. The Civil Guard mounted overnight and yesterday morning a gigantic device to locate the robber who robbed the gas station of Port de Pollença, armed with a sawed-off shotgun. After nine hours frantic, officers gave chase in the same town and I spoke the firearm.

As was reported yesterday exclusively Ultima Hora, about eight o'clock in the afternoon, a 46-year-old showed up at the service station at gunpoint Port and the employee. Then he shouted: "Give me all the money in the box."

Booty

The cashier, very frightened, gave the airplane was in the box and the robber fled. The local police was the first to intervene as the Civil Guard became aware of what had happened several patrols moved to the gas station and took statements from the victim. The woman explained that the offender covered his face with a balaclava and at first said that carrying a gun, but later found it was a shotgun.

The Meritorious mounted controls throughout the town and surrounding villages, as it tried to escape the rowdy road and met with residents of the gas station to see if they had seen or heard anything suspicious. While you were collecting data, appeared as a resident suspect in sa Pobla carrying a tracking bracelet convicted of abuse.

The siege was shaking and finally, at about five in the morning, officials finally captured LRJ, an addict of Spanish nationality and police records. Inside the vehicle they found the ultimate test: the shotgun he used in the assault on the house. In the morning, the guards searched his house for the money he had stolen. LRJ's ​​flight lasted nine hours.
