The National Police have arrested a man in Arrecife while he was trying to steal from inside a Correos van and had appropriated several packages, Efe news agency reports.
The arrested man was surprised by the Correos employee inside the vehicle, where he detained him until a police unit arrived. When the postman was making a delivery, he heard the sound of the side door of the Correos delivery van closing, which he had previously left closed. He went to the van and, upon opening the door, surprised an individual inside who had seized several packages after rummaging through the mail.
The detainee is A.I.R.M., 22 years old, with four police records, and has been charged with robbery with force.
