The Civil Guard appreciates citizen collaboration, which is essential to clarify the crime.

 

The Civil Guard of the Main Post of Puerto Rico-Mogán, in Gran Canaria, arrested a 03-year-old man with criminal numbers on February 2023, 28, as the alleged perpetrator of a crime of robbery with violence by attacking the back to two men, who began to hit them and throw them to the ground in order to steal their belongings, valued at €2.500, in the town of Arguineguín.

 

Knowledge of the facts

The Civil Guard was made aware of the events that occurred as a result of the complaint filed by the victims of the events that occurred in the offices of the Main Post of Puerto Rico-Mogán, stating that in the early hours of the previous night, while they were heading to their home , were attacked from behind by two men, whom they hit and threw to the ground in order to steal their valuable belongings, even stealing two mobile phones, cash and two bank cards. 

 

As a result of the attack, the victims had numerous bruises on their faces and arms, and one of them may have suffered a broken finger.

 

The Civil Guard immediately began efforts to try to obtain the necessary evidence to identify the alleged perpetrators due to the seriousness of the events described by the victims and given the difficulty of the complainants in providing information about the people who attacked them due to the speed and violence with which the events occurred. 

 

Investigation and investigations collected

A search operation was initiated with the aim of locating and arresting the aforementioned author. Taking the necessary steps and investigations, it was discovered that the alleged perpetrators had used one of the stolen bank cards in different hospitality establishments and tobacco vending machines, proceeding to make payments with it a few minutes after its theft.

 

With this information, the Civil Guard collected all the investigations and carried out a thorough review of and obtained statements from witnesses that allowed one of the assailants to be identified, being able to identify and subsequently arrest.

 

The proceedings and the detainee were placed at the disposal of the Court of San Bartolomé de Tirajana on guard duty for the holding of a quick trial, after which the competent Judicial Authority ordered his entry into prison.
