The Civil Guard of Tías recently dismantled a gang made up of six people, including two minors, who were dedicated to robbing apartments in tourist areas.
These robberies had been occurring since last January in the towns of Puerto del Carmen, Costa Teguise and Arrecife, and the perpetrators of the events stole effects and money worth 27,000 euros in apartments and commercial premises.
In one of these robberies, which took place on January 24, a security guard of an apartment complex in Puerto del Carmen observed how two people got out of a vehicle parked in front of a tourist complex and entered the aforementioned complex "in suspicious ways", explains the armed corps in a statement made public.
When the guard reached the vehicle, he found that there were two more people, who pounced on him, throwing him to the ground and attacking him, taking the opportunity to steal a mobile phone.
At that moment and before the alert of pedestrians passing through the place, the authors fled without being able to enter the apartment that they were allegedly going to steal. The guard had to be transferred to the General Hospital of Arrecife due to the injuries caused in the attack.
In the investigation carried out by the Civil Guard, the identification of the alleged perpetrators of this act was achieved, as well as other criminal acts in which they could allegedly be involved.
Finally, on February 1 and 2, agents of the Civil Guard proceeded to arrest six people, whose initials correspond to A.D.V.A, H.J.G.R., A.D.B., C.D.G.B., J.F.O.F. and F.T.O., including two minors as alleged perpetrators of several robberies with force and another of robbery with violence in the aforementioned locations. The detainees were placed at the disposal of the Arrecife Instruction Court, while the minors were placed at the disposal of the Prosecutor's Office for Minors.
