The Local Police of Arrecife arrested two young men as alleged perpetrators of the theft of a moped. The events took place during the afternoon of last Sunday, January 13, when the agents, who were patrolling the Cable area, observed a motorcycle circulating without a license plate, without lights, without mirrors, with the front destroyed and occupied by two individuals who fled at the presence of the police. Then they started a chase through a pedestrian area, endangering the integrity of the pedestrians who were in the area.

Minutes later, after the young men dropped the moped and ran in different directions, the agents managed to capture and arrest them for a crime against traffic safety, theft of use of a motor vehicle and damage to the moped.

Once in police custody, the agents located the owner of the moped who reported the theft the night before. The detainees were identified as M. E., a native of Morocco, 18 years old, and R. C. G. born in Arrecife, 14 years old, so in this case both the minor's mother and the Juvenile Prosecutor were notified so that they were aware of the arrest. The minor was placed in the custody of his parents once he had testified.
