The operation led to the location of the material, which was hidden in a wooded area within the municipality of Barbate. Agents found some of the items that had been reported stolen following the assault on the military unit during the exercises.

The events are related to the theft perpetrated days ago during military maneuvers in the vicinity of the Sierra del Retín, where several boats and various equipment belonging to the Navy were stolen. The investigation suggests that the perpetrators took advantage of a moment when the military personnel were conducting ground exercises to take the material.

The recovery represents a significant step forward in the investigation opened by the Civil Guard, which continues to work to fully clarify what happened and identify those responsible for the theft.

The disappearance of the material had caused considerable concern due to the nature of the stolen equipment and the context in which the assault occurred, in a particularly sensitive area due to the activity of organizations linked to drug trafficking on the Cadiz coast.
