According to a press release issued by the Civil Guard, this person fled in a police operation established for the prevention of petty drug dealing while being investigated for these events, ignoring the signals of the agents and endangering their physical integrity, almost running over one of the agents when fleeing through the secondary road parallel to the LZ-1, generating a serious risk for other road users in the town of Costa Teguise.
Investigation and police inquiries
As a result of the investigation carried out by the Civil Guard of Costa Teguise, on February 21 they carried out a series of inquiries related to petty drug dealing.
The circumstance is that the detainee was going to be identified in a police operation established by the Civil Guard in the town of Guatiza, at which point he started the escape to avoid police action, almost running over one of the agents.
Ignoring the signals of the acting civil guards, a follow-up was initiated using acoustic and sound signals since he was driving recklessly, at which point it was detected how he threw a package through the vehicle window, which could be blocked later, initiating a escape on foot until being reduced by the agents.
