The number of sanction proposals processed by the Local Police of Santa Cruz de Tenerife during the last week for breaches of anti-covid regulations has dropped to 39 cases.
Two serious breaches were detected in two nightlife venues in the Tenerife capital last weekend, the first since the health authorities lowered Tenerife to alert level 2, the body reported in a statement on Tuesday.
It was necessary to vacate both establishments during the night of last Saturday, in which preventive measures such as the prohibition of dancing or the maximum capacity allowed were not followed.
These two most serious offenses occurred in the vicinity of the Alameda del Duque de Santa Elena and the other on Calle El Clavel, both during the Sunday morning.
It was about two nightlife venues that caused annoyances and that, when the Local Police appeared in both, the agents detected numerous infractions.
In the first case, around 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, several police patrols were required to check the noise and disturbances that occurred outside the premises.
Once there, after ordering the people who were outside to leave the area, the police observed that inside the premises there were a significant number of clients not complying with the minimum protection measures.
When inspecting the establishment it is observed many people congregated dancing, consuming alcohol and “very crowded”, while those responsible for the establishment were not able to provide the data on the capacity control, although it would be authorized to have about 80 people inside.
The police officers proceeded to vacate the premises and noted that inside said bar there were 277 people, of whom “a good part” was dancing.
Neither was the obligation to wear the mask respected, nor was there an adequate record of the participants.
In the second place that it was necessary to intervene, in El Clavel street, the agents verified breaches of both the number of tables and chairs and the number of people they had authorized on the terrace of the same.
In fact, some people who worked in the premises, upon detecting the police presence, began to collect the terrace that, at that time, served 30 people when it is only authorized for six.
In addition, with the door closed and with instructions from the staff not to leave the premises, 50 more people remained inside.
Other minutes were processed for non-compliance with the hours of two stores known as 24 hours and one more for excess capacity on a terrace located in a public square.
Regarding the sanctions for the possession or consumption of narcotic substances, a dozen cases were identified and, in the same way, the agents were forced to intervene in some brawls that occurred in the center of the city already in the early hours of the end. of week.
