Agents of the National Police have arrested in Lanzarote J.S.M.A, a 31-year-old foreign citizen, and J.L.H.S, 50 years old, both with multiple police records, as alleged perpetrators of an attempted fraud in an electronics store in Arrecife. They tried to finance the purchase of a large quantity of electronic objects worth 9,000 euros.

The investigation began after the complaint of the establishment's managers, who told police officers how two individuals, one of them with the appearance of a drug addict, tried to finance the purchase of a large quantity of electronic objects in their store, presenting personal documentation and payrolls of dubious origin.

After several police investigations, the falsehood of the payrolls presented was verified, as well as the identification of those responsible, who were arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime of fraud and another of documentary falsification.

After the corresponding police report was prepared, the detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent Judicial Authority, who ordered their release with charges
