Young man arrested for robbery and assault in Arrecife

The National Police of Arrecife has arrested three young people between 18 and 19 years of age, as the alleged perpetrators of several robberies with violence.

On April 18, several notices and complaints were received, in which several robberies with violence were reported on the Rambla Medular in the capital of Lanzarote. Five young men approached a man who was walking, assaulted him and stole his belongings. Moments later, two of them got into a taxi to take them to La Santa, then the other three and together with those who were already in the vehicle, assaulted and robbed the driver and then fled.

The police investigation managed to arrest three of the five alleged perpetrators, who were placed at the disposal of the competent Judicial Authority. After being released, days later, the same young people were involved in the knife attack outside an occupied house, where the perpetrator, upon being arrested, was immediately imprisoned.
