A 22-year-old Moroccan man, with more than twenty police records, has been arrested after being caught stealing in the storage room of a house in the municipality of Arrecife, in Lanzarote, according to a note from the Superior Headquarters of the Canary Islands Police.

  The events unfolded after a man called the 091 telephone number reporting that, after hearing noises on the roof of his house and going up to check what was happening, he had found a young man inside his storage room. When he was surprised, the boy pushed the owner of the property down the stairs and fled the scene, although he was chased by him for several minutes.

 With the data provided by the man, the police officers located the alleged perpetrator in the vicinity and proceeded to arrest him. Likewise, the owner of the house was assisted in a nearby health center for the minor injuries suffered.

 After the corresponding police report was prepared, the detainee was brought to the attention of the competent Judicial Authority, who ordered his release with charges. The police intervention was carried out by agents from the Arrecife Police Station.
