The arrest took place this weekend on a street in Playa Honda as a result of the investigations that agents had been developing for more than two weeks when a series of continuous robberies in apartments and hotel complexes in Lanzarote were recorded.

The detainee was a specialist in the theft of safes anchored in the walls of hotel rooms and other properties. At the end of last May, the video-surveillance cameras of a hotel in Puerto del Carmen recorded images in which it can be seen how the defendant took a safe.

Since then he was with a police search warrant. Sometimes he acted alone and other times with an accomplice.

It has not yet been possible to determine the exact amount of the total value of all the effects stolen, generally cash, jewelry, cards, image and sound devices, etc., although it could be quite high. The agents continue with the steps aimed at recovering what was stolen.
