Two off-duty Civil Guard officers apprehended two men, aged 32 and 35, in Playa de Las Américas, situated in the south of Tenerife, who are believed to have stolen a wallet containing 300 euros from a pair of tourists.
The Civil Guard announced on Thursday that the officers acted promptly, resulting in the arrest of both individuals and the recovery of the stolen cash along with various documents belonging to the victims.
