The Yaiza Civil Guard arrested on March 8 a male with initials C.M.C., 37 years old and with numerous police records, as the alleged perpetrator of two crimes of robbery with force in a home and theft in a business. Both committed in the municipality of Yaiza at the end of last January. In addition, two women with initials M.N.L.M. and S.G.G. have been investigated as alleged perpetrators of a crime of robbery with force, for allegedly helping C.M.C. to hide a stolen television.
The investigation began as a result of the report filed for the theft in a business in the town of Playa Blanca, committed during the afternoon of January 21, reporting a representative of the establishment that a person had taken - hiding in bags prepared to evade security mechanisms - perfumes and sunglasses valued at 440 euros, being able to provide investigators with security camera recordings, of utmost importance for the clarification of the crime.
Days later, another citizen reported a robbery with force in his home, committed during the afternoon of January 29, when someone after breaking a metal blind of the house, accessed its interior and took a television.
Subsequently, the investigations carried out by the agents of the Investigation Area of the aforementioned Main Post allowed to locate the television, located in another home in Playa Blanca after carrying out the mandatory home search, in the presence of the judicial secretary, where also the Civil Guard investigated the two women who lived in it, after gathering sufficient evidence to determine their collaboration with C.M.C. to keep the stolen television in question.
In parallel, the Civil Guard had also gathered evidence that pointed to C.M.C. - with nine previous arrests - as the alleged perpetrator of both the robbery with force in the house mentioned above, and the aforementioned business.
The agents returned the television to its owner and arrested the three people identified as alleged perpetrators of several crimes against property, remaining at the disposal of the corresponding Court, on duty in Arrecife.
