The investigation commenced following a burglary in a residence situated in El Rosario, where the individual allegedly took keys to a vehicle which belonged to the occupant of the home that was targeted, thereafter proceeding to take the vehicle, according to the Civil Guard.
Shortly after, officers from Tacoronte Local Police intercepted the suspect, who fled the scene after disregarding their warnings, although the vehicle was subsequently reclaimed.
Following these events, a surveillance operation was set up by officers from both the Civil Guard and Local Police, which successfully led to his identification and arrest while he was inside a commercial premises in the Tacoronte urban area.
A search of his possessions revealed items linked to numerous criminal activities, indicating his involvement in these incidents as well as contributing towards their resolution.
The suspect is described as a “highly active criminal, with an extensive police record for similar offences, generating a degree of social concern among the community,” noted the Civil Guard.
Following the apprehension and relevant procedures, the detainee was submitted to the La Laguna Police Court of Investigation, and the appropriate judicial authority has since ordered his imprisonment.
