National Police agents have arrested in Arrecife, J.M.R.L., a 55-year-old man with a police record, after stealing money and a mobile phone from his nephew's home. He was surprised inside the house by the owner's partner.
The events unfolded after a person called the 091 telephone number reporting having surprised his neighbor inside his house stealing from him. The police officers who went to the scene interviewed the applicant and his partner, who told them that moments before, when she was sleeping on an armchair next to the entrance door of the house, she surprised the downstairs neighbor inside the house. For this reason, she notified her partner, at which point the person left the place, quickly going down the stairs and entering his house.
The victims told the police officers that the access door to the house was perfectly closed, but without the key being turned from the inside. From the beginning, they missed a mobile phone, valued at 100 euros, which they had left charging next to the entrance door. Likewise, after observing that one of the interior rooms was completely messed up, they noticed the theft of 60 euros in cash, which was in a piece of furniture in the aforementioned room.
The police officers proceeded to arrest the resident of the ground floor, who turned out to be the uncle of the owner of the house, as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of robbery with force inside a home. After the corresponding police report was prepared, it was sent to the competent judicial authority.
