La Voz witnessed in the early hours of Friday to Saturday a robbery with violence in the Real street of Arrecife.

There, three young men chased a man, whom they later cornered and hit in the lip, stealing his wallet.

After that, and after La Voz warned the young men that he had called the police, they fled the scene, two of them walking and another on a bicycle.

However, before leaving the area, one of them threw a glass bottle towards where the photographer of La Voz was, who was recording what happened. "They robbed me, they just broke my lip," declares the victim of the robbery.

Subsequently, three police patrols arrived at the scene and began a search for the three young men, which ended without success. However, the images of what happened were placed in the hands of the National Police, who are working to identify the perpetrators.
