José Domingo Morales Hernández, 39 years old and a resident of Teguise, the same local police officer who was reported months ago for scratching several cars and keeping the money from fines imposed on several tourists, has been arrested by the Civil Guard of the San Bartolomé Post, this time accused of committing two robberies.
The aforementioned was already arrested on March 19 accused of a crime against the Public Administration and another of misappropriation, as a result of the collection in hand of traffic complaints to foreign tourists and another series of irregularities.
In the first of the robberies in which he allegedly participated, committed on November 18 in an advisory office in Puerto del Carmen, the detainee stole 20 euros and a credit card whose secret number he forced an employee to decipher. On the 19th he entered a supermarket in San Bartolomé, from which he took 300 euros from the cash register.
The agent, who had already been suspended from his duties since last March, used a pellet gun, a blonde wig, black sunglasses and a sports cap in his robberies, material that has already been seized by the Civil Guard during a home search in Teguise.
The detainee appeared this Thursday morning before Court Number 1 of Arrecife, which ordered his imprisonment for two crimes of robbery with intimidation, entering this Thursday afternoon the penitentiary center of Tahíche.
Service to the citizen
Meanwhile, the members of the Local Police and the City Council of Teguise, whose mayor, Juan Pedro Hernández, has offered a willing attitude when making the facts public with the conviction that they will not be repeated, regret the negative bad image that these days splashes the Municipal Headquarters for some facts that they describe as isolated, and that they do not believe should tarnish their vocation of service to the citizen.
The Municipal Corporation insists that José Domingo M.H., who was precisely denounced by his own colleagues a few months ago and arrested by the Civil Guard, the Corps already removed him from service since last March.
