The Civil Guard of the Commandancy of Las Palmas has arrested a man as the alleged perpetrator of ten crimes of theft with force committed in recent months in establishments in Tinajo and Playa Honda.
According to the investigation, the detainee allegedly forced the collection boxes of the washing and vacuuming machines to take the money they contained.
The inquiries began after receiving several complaints that presented a similar pattern of action.
From then on, the agents carried out various investigative steps, including the viewing and detailed analysis of recordings from different video surveillance cameras.
The study of these images made it possible to reconstruct the suspect's movements, link the different reported incidents, and obtain evidence that led to his identification.
In this way, the investigators managed to link him allegedly to the ten thefts with force and clarify a series of incidents that had affected several establishments on the island.
Once the necessary evidence was gathered, the agents proceeded to the arrest of the alleged perpetrator, who was placed at the disposal of the Court of First Instance and Instruction number 3 of Arrecife. The judicial authority ordered his provisional imprisonment.
