A hotel in Puerto del Carmen has expelled this Wednesday morning the British tourist accused of the illegal detention of a four-year-old child. According to La Voz, the hotel has requested the presence of the Civil Guard, as this man refused to leave the premises.
This person was arrested on Sunday by the Civil Guard, after allegedly taking a four-year-old child from the terrace of a house in Puerto del Carmen. The rapid action of the mother and a neighbor prevented this man from taking the child away.
After being brought to justice, the judge decided to release him on charges, although with the obligation to appear before the court on the 1st and 15th of each month, according to the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands. After being released, the accused for these events returned to the hotel in Puerto del Carmen, which caused a stir among employees and customers.
Sources close to the establishment have told La Voz that several workers were monitoring the movements of this person, 60 years old, fearing that he might approach a minor. Apparently, the man had to leave this Wednesday at 12:00, but he did not intend to do so.
Therefore, after receiving a call from the hotel, the Civil Guard went to the place to prevent a disturbance of public order. Finally, this person has left the establishment, although this hotel fears that he will seek accommodation in another area of Lanzarote, since in principle he has to stay on the island and appear every 15 days in the Courts pending trial.
