Four young members of the 'top model' gang arrested while robbing two apartments in Madrid using the 'slip' method

Four individuals from the 'top model' gang have been arrested by the National Police while attempting to commit burglaries in Madrid using a plastic slip technique.

The National Police in Spain has arrested four individuals associated with the notorious 'top model' gang, which specializes in residential burglaries using a method known as 'slip'. This technique involves inserting a plastic sheet, often made from packaging materials, between the door frame and latch to unlock the door without forcing the lock. The first arrest occurred last Sunday night when a couple attempted to break into a home in the Salamanca district of Madrid while the owner was inside, leading to a swift response from law enforcement prompted by reports from vigilant neighbors.
