The National Police have arrested in Arrecife two men of 19 years of age, without police records, as alleged perpetrators of a crime of robbery with violence, after beating and stealing the phone from a man in the capital.

The incident occurred on Sunday morning, and it was the employee of an establishment in the capital who observed how the two young men were beating and stealing the mobile phone from the man, so she called 091.
