A 62-year-old man has been arrested in Torrevieja for allegedly stealing from elderly patients inside hospital rooms. The case has raised serious concerns about safety in healthcare facilities.
According to authorities, the suspect walked through corridors selecting vulnerable victims and entered rooms when patients were asleep, undergoing treatment or absent.
He reportedly stole money, mobile phones and valuables, and in some cases medical items. Most victims were elderly, including foreign residents.
After multiple complaints, police identified and arrested the suspect. At least three thefts have been confirmed, though the investigation is ongoing.
While such incidents are not widespread, experts point out that hospitals remain vulnerable environments due to patient conditions, open access and limited control.
The case highlights the need to strengthen security measures in healthcare facilities.
