Agents of the Local Police of Arrecife managed this Sunday, November 19, to stop the 'occupation' of a house located in the capital of Lanzarote, near the Adolfo Topham school.
The officers of the Local Police Corps, who were in the police vehicle carrying out prevention tasks in the area, were activated by the Telecommunications Room of the Local Police of Arrecife, recently opened, to move to the address provided by the residents of the building who had telephoned the Local Police Center reporting the possible 'occupation' of a house on the ground floor of the building.
At the scene, the acting agents - as described in the proceedings - interviewed different residents of the building who stated that "during the morning they have heard numerous knocks inside the house, being aware that the property is uninhabited and is owned by a firm." The witnesses told the agents that "the access door to the house, until yesterday morning, was in perfect condition." Therefore, the local agents went to the house, observing that it has the door frame fractured. Upon seeing that the house was forced and uninhabited, the agents managed to access the interior of the property, locating a man who stated "that he is inside because his intention is to occupy the property."
The agents proceed to inspect the house in its different rooms, being able to verify that it is completely empty, without personal belongings, and only find the tools that were used to access the house, which are provided to the instructions. The identification details that the person is 59 years old, born abroad and residing on the island.
Subsequently, service personnel from a security company who had received the signal in their alarm systems that morning, which coincides with the statements of the witness neighbors of the building, appeared at the scene.
Once all the participants have been identified, including the witness neighbors, the agents conclude this action, leaving the house in charge of the Security Guard of the security company.
