The Emergency devices of the island of Fuerteventura have joined this Thursday morning in the search for the Lanzarote shellfish gatherer missing four days ago on Las Cocinas beach, near Caletón Blanco, in Órzola.

At the same time, the Lanzarote Security and Emergency Consortium has resumed the search along the east coast of the island from the early hours of the morning.

For the moment, the firefighters of the Security and Emergency Consortium will continue in active search of the area, while, as usual, the rest of the deployed devices, such as the Civil Guard, Emerlan or the Maritime Rescue helicopter, move to the passive search.

The missing person is the neighbor of Guatiza Pepe Acuña, 61 years old, who was at noon last Monday with his wife on Las Cocinas beach. At one point, Acuña went for a walk and to pick burgados. After three and a half hours, the woman called the Emergency devices alerting that her husband "usually did not take so long." The man did not take his mobile phone. This past Tuesday morning a relative formalized the complaint at the Civil Guard station.
