The Civil Guard is investigating a alleged crime of damage that has affected a new sensor station with which the operation of the SIVE coastal surveillance system of Lanzarote was going to be improved, a fire that, however, does not compromise that it continues to operate normally.
This was assured this Wednesday to EFE sources of the armed institute after the Spanish Association of Civil Guards has denounced in a statement that this "act of sabotage will prevent the SIVE of Lanzarote from entering into operation before the end of this month", as announced a few weeks ago by the Canarian Minister of Security, Nieves Lady Barreto.
Faced with this complaint, the Civil Guard assures that it is investigating an alleged crime of damage, related to a fire declared in the Mirador de Guinate, in the municipality of Haría, where the improvement of the SIVE of Lanzarote was implemented consisting of the incorporation of a new sensor station.
However, the armed institute denies that this fire compromises the operation of this Integrated Exterior Surveillance System, which continues to operate "the same as before", since the equipment that has been affected by the fire "was being installed."
For the AEGC, "the fact that this installation has been set on fire" confirms "its importance in the fight against the mafias" that traffic in people".
"It is quite clear that 3ste has been an act of sabotage to prevent its entry into operation and, therefore, to jeopardize the criminal activities of these criminal organizations," the organization asserts in its note.
