The third day of searching for the shellfish gatherer who disappeared last Monday while looking for winkles in the Caletón Blanco area, in Órzola, has concluded without success. This Thursday only the Emergency Consortium will continue to search the area.
The missing person is the neighbor of Guatiza Pepe Acuña, 61 years old, who was at noon last Monday with his wife on Las Cocinas beach. At one point, Acuña went for a walk and pick winkles. After three and a half hours, the woman called the Emergency services alerting that her husband "usually didn't take that long." The man did not take his mobile phone. This past Tuesday morning a relative formalized the complaint at the Civil Guard station.
Since then, a large Emergency device, made up of firefighters from the Lanzarote Security and Emergency Consortium, Emerlan workers, the Civil Guard, several vehicles, jet skis, a GES helicopter, the Helimar of Maritime Rescue, Civil Protection of Yaiza, Arrecife and Tías comb the area in search of this man.
