A daring robbery took place at the Hotel del Santuario de Núria in Queralbs, Girona, where thieves successfully stole a safe weighing around 300 kilograms. The suspects, described as three hooded individuals, are believed to have used a power saw to open the safe and access its contents, before employing a sled to push it down the mountainside into a designated area known as 'El poste tort'. The police, specifically the Mossos d'Esquadra, are investigating this incident, considering various hypotheses about the culprits’ actions during the robbery.

Following the theft, it is speculated that the thieves either opened the safe before discarding it down the mountain or risked descending to retrieve the cash or valuables after pushing the heavy safe down. This raises questions about the planning and execution of the crime, considering the potential danger posed by avalanches in the area. Additionally, local ski resort workers from Vall de Núria were involved in the operation to assess the scene and search for evidence related to the crime, emphasizing the impact this incident has on the community and local tourism.

Incidents of this nature not only challenge law enforcement but also highlight vulnerabilities in the security measures at remote establishments such as ski hotels. This robbery, in particular, could spark discussions about increasing security protocols at tourist destinations to protect both property and patrons, especially during peak seasons when such facilities are more crowded.
