The 21 year old allegedly tried to saw the steering wheel of a car with three others.
All four have previous records for crime against property and are at the disposition of the courts after refusing to declare to the police.‘El Rafita’ is on ‘supervised release’ according to the Justice Department of the Madrid Regional Government, but a spokesman for the prisons authority told El País that they did not accept the job of supervising him as they had no authority to do so, as the sentence was issued when he was underage.
