Agents of the Rapid Intervention Group (GIR) of the Civil Guard and the Local Police intervened this Thursday afternoon in a party in a villa in Yaiza, in which the measures against Covid were being violated. In addition, among the participants was a judge and a lawyer.

According to sources consulted by La Voz, they were doing a live broadcast from the house through social networks and a person anonymously alerted the police forces. 

After that, more than a dozen agents went to the house, located in the Barranco del Agua area, between Puerto Calero and Uga.  

There, according to Canarias 7, they allegedly found a dozen people, many of them without masks, who were dancing and not respecting the safety distance, with the addition that they were not cohabiting. 

Sources close to La Voz have confirmed that the judge who participated in the party even asked the agents who intervened to identify themselves.
