The Civil Guard of the Main Post of Yaiza, in coordination with the Local Police of the municipality, within the framework of the established police collaboration line, arrested on July 26, a 29-year-old man, with numerous police records, for a crime of robbery with force in things and a crime of drug trafficking by accessing a hotel complex and stealing various objects, fleeing the place threatening the employees of the complex with a knife, being surprised hours later by the Local Police making a drug transaction.
Robbery with force and threats
The events occurred in the early morning of the 25th when the Civil Guard and the Local Police of Yaiza were alerted by a series of noises and blows in a tourist complex located in Playa Blanca. Apparently they accessed its interior violently, confirming the agents this extreme when locating one of the apartments in disarray with the rear door forced.
However, the perpetrator of the events was later surprised by two employees of the facility in another room, threateningly using a knife that they were able to snatch before he fled the place. However, both the Civil Guard and the Local Police had reasonable indications to suspect who was the alleged perpetrator of these illegal acts due to his modus operandi. Specifically, a person in an irregular situation who had committed up to 16 crimes in just over two months, with 10 arrests on record for this. The perpetrator of these crimes has been employing greater aggressiveness against the victims, causing some of them injuries of different consideration through the use of knives.
Arrest
The arrest took place hours later, during the same morning of July 26, when the Local Police surprised this person during a drug transaction on the Avenida Marítima of Playa Blanca. Once the arrest was made, the Civil Guard of Yaiza took charge of the proceedings, who, based on the data provided by the victim, allowed to determine that he was the perpetrator of the robbery with force inside the house.
Once the police proceedings were completed, the detainee was brought to the disposal of the Court No. 4 of Arrecife, ordering his imprisonment. This judicial measure has made it possible to avoid the succession of more events of this type, being received with enormous satisfaction by the citizens and merchants of the area, where the already habitual criminal practices of the detainee had generated a notorious sensation of unease and insecurity.
