Before the start of the harvest in the towns of Teguise, the City Council has launched a special device to increase surveillance in agricultural holdings. As at the beginning of each campaign, thefts in the countryside and, specifically, of the merchandise produced by agricultural holdings, generate a "great concern" among the owners, they point out from the Consistory.
Thus, to "minimize" these thefts, the mayor of Teguise, Oswaldo Betancort, has requested the collaboration of the Police and the Civil Guard, in order to reinforce their actions with a greater presence in the rural environment, which includes plainclothes personnel and camouflaged vehicles.
According to recommendations from the security agents themselves, quickly reporting a theft or robbery facilitates the investigation. For this reason, the security forces ask that both the owners and the people who work during the next few days in the harvest have the contact telephone numbers of the Local Police or Civil Guard on hand. Likewise, they advise everyone who moves around the area to write down the license plates of suspicious vehicles.
"All collaboration from the residents is good to help increase security among the owners of rustic farms and workers of agricultural holdings," the mayor pointed out in this regard. "It is important that there are no unprotected areas in the municipal area, for this reason, we have reinforced this service and we also ask that any theft detected on their properties be reported," concluded Oswaldo Betancort.
Open the deadline to request potato seeds
On the other hand, the Teguise City Council has reported that it has already opened the deadline for farmers in the municipality to request potato seeds. Those interested have until November 30 to place orders at the Teguise Agrotechnological Center or by calling 928522317.
"The Agriculture Area provides facilities to the agricultural sector with seeds of one of the most characteristic products of the municipality and that are also distributed to be grown in the school gardens of the schools," explained its manager, Agustín Méndez.
