National Police agents have arrested two men, 23 and 28 years old, both with police records, in Arrecife as alleged perpetrators of a robbery with force in a home in the capital. In addition, there is a third person involved, a 28-year-old woman, who remains under investigation. 

The events unfolded after a call to the 091 telephone number from a witness, who observed how two individuals were trying to force the door of a house in Arrecife with a lever, while a woman watched the surroundings.

Upon arrival, the agents surprised the three individuals as they were trying to leave the place in a vehicle with a minor and proceeded to arrest the two men as alleged perpetrators of a robbery with force.

The third of those involved and the driver of the vehicle, who was apparently doing surveillance work, remains under investigation for these events. She took charge of the child who was with them in the vehicle.

After the arrests, the police officers checked the exterior of the house, being able to verify that the door was forced and the frame fractured. After the corresponding police report was prepared, the detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent Judicial Authority.
