EXPOSED: A man accused of stealing €80,000 worth of holiday items from the bride and 12 British hens in Mijas is a Cuban squatter living illegally in Spain and linked to a burglary gang in Florida

A well-known Cuban criminal is believed to be behind the burglary of a Spanish holiday Airbnb that left a British bride and her 12 chickens 80,000 euros out of pocket.

Alex H, who we don’t name for legal reasons, allegedly broke into the rented villa in Mijas last Saturday while the band were partying.

He was accused of stealing a series of rings, two Rolex watches and numerous designer items, after being tracked by a set of Airpods to his squatted home in Calahonda, nearby Mijas.

Incredibly, one of the hens had managed to track a signal for its headphones at the Señorio de Calahonda Urbanization in Los Jarales on Sunday.

When they rushed to confront the burglar, they claimed to have spotted one of their vacation villa cleaners exiting the building.

Police were called and upon arrival arrested the woman and man, who are believed to have long been on police radar for local crimes. Another woman was also arrested.

While police have yet to charge the group, Olive Press can reveal that Alex was arrested in Florida in 2017 for being involved in a burglary ring targeting multimillion-dollar homes.

It’s unclear exactly when he moved to Spain, but he’s been squatting in the area for a few years with his girlfriend Susan, also from the Caribbean.

The boss of a squatter eviction firm, Servi-Okupa, has revealed that he has been squatting for at least a year in luxury villas in the Mijas area.

“I know this guy very well,” said Alberto Cuesta. “I evicted him from at least five houses in Mijas, one of the houses was a 4 million euro villa in the exclusive area of ​​Padierna.

“He keeps popping up every two months and his girlfriend is part of a criminal organization on the Costa del Sol, they know what they’re doing,” he continued.

He added that the Cuban is living illegally in Spain and that his social media profiles show a man living a life of luxury and overspending.

In many posts, they are seen carrying Louis Vuitton bags and wearing Rolex watches while eating at the most expensive restaurants in Mijas.

A British neighbor told Olive Press he was a “very dangerous man”.

“All the neighbors are afraid of him. We don’t know what to do and we all have children and wives so we have to be careful. The police are there every day,” he revealed.

When he arrived, he told the neighbors that he had a contract with the owner, who is a Russian woman.

However, the owner, who hasn’t been seen in a year or more, has disappeared and they haven’t been able to contact her in years.

Neighbors have helped the hens get their property back, but so far to no avail.

Police released the group without charge and when they returned home they began threatening neighbors and English holidaymakers with a baseball bat.

The videos have now been posted to a regional Instagram account, Marbella se Queja.

“We tried to help these ladies because they had all their stuff stolen and we knew it was him,” the neighbor claimed. “It’s not the first time and it’s clear that there’s not much to do.

“Yesterday, Alex’s wife walked around the neighbor’s house who uploaded the videos to Instagram and threatened her. She was terrified, so it looks like they won.

National police confirmed they were investigating Alex, but gave no further details. He currently faces no charges.

Tonight, the Servi-Okupa company revealed that they have “an agreement in place” with Alex and that “he will leave today or tomorrow morning”.

He did not confirm claims that they paid the squatters to bribe them to leave.
