SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, July 20 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Arona Investigating Court, acting as a guard, has ordered the provisional detention of a Spanish individual of legal age who was arrested by the National Police as responsible for six crimes of robbery with force and one crime of robbery with violence committed in rooms of hotel complexes and tourist apartments located in the south of Tenerife.
The alleged perpetrator of the robberies, a resident of the municipality of Arona and without a stable known address, has numerous police records for crimes against property. He used the ladder technique to access hotel rooms and apartments, sometimes meeting the residents inside.
The investigation of the facts has been carried out by the Judicial Police of the South Police Station of Tenerife and the detainee is attributed his alleged participation in the last five months in thirteen robberies with force and two robberies with violence. Once the police proceedings have been forwarded to the Investigating Court on duty, it has ordered the provisional detention of the detainee.
The National Police, through the Housing Security Program, makes various security recommendations to prevent home robberies. First of all, close doors and windows when leaving the house, especially access to patios, always locking the door and keeping the most valuable objects in a safe deposit box if possible.
In the case of going on vacation, it is convenient that someone you trust pick up the mail frequently, avoiding betraying the absence, not manifesting summer plans on social networks. Trying to leave the keys to a trusted neighbor or evaluating the installation of a programmable clock that turns on the lights and appliances during the absence.
Similarly, if the door of the home is open when you return, do not enter and immediately call the police without touching anything inside that would destroy possible evidence.
One of the most important lines of action of the National Police within the Citizen Groups program is to promote the assumption of safe habits, even so, in the event of any symptom that suggests a crime in the home, contact us by telephone 091. Likewise, before the arrival of summer, active surveillance continues to be carried out, in order to prevent the crimes of robberies in homes and establishments.
