Man arrested over alleged break-in at Corralejo shop

Guardia Civil arrested a man on 28 October over an alleged break-in at a shop in Corralejo in which clothing and cash worth around €3,600 were taken.

The Las Palmas Guardia Civil command said the investigation began after a representative of the business reported the theft to the force’s Corralejo station. Officers examined the shop’s security camera footage and investigated the routes used to enter and leave the premises.

The footage allegedly showed the man forcing an emergency door with a blunt object before entering the shop. A safe, a cash register containing nearly €1,000 and clothing valued at approximately €2,600 were taken.

The man was brought before the duty investigating court in Puerto del Rosario, which ordered him to be held in provisional custody.
