The National Police and Guardia Civil have arrested three individuals on suspicion of a crime of robbery with violence and intimidation in Puerto del Rosario and at least eight other similar offenses committed in the town of Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura also.

The incident occurred in early June when the 091 was alerted for robbery with violence and intimidation in a commercial establishment of Calle Leon y Castillo, the capital of Fuerteventura.

An employee of the trade informed the police that three men had threatened him with firearms that they hand over the cash register.

It also told them that took advantage of the carelessness of one of the robbers to, after a struggle, wrest the gun, so both he and his two accomplices fled the scene.

An hour later, a provision of the Civil Guard identified the occupants of a vehicle on the road between Puerto del Rosario to the airport, when they noticed that inside the car had a ski mask and a gun simulated.

In addition, after conducting a thorough search of the vehicle involved ten televisions, computer and other effects from different robberies, so they proceeded to the arrest of the three occupants.

Once identified and arrested, officers discovered that these robbers were the author of eight other robberies in apartments in the town of Caleta de Fuste, in Antigua.

The detainees have been brought to justice.



If anyone has been burgled recently they should contact the Police to see if any of the items belong to them.
