The Councilor for Citizen Security of the City of Lorca, Belén Pérez Martínez, has reported on an action of interest developed by two agents of the Protection Unit and Proximity to Citizen Security of the Local Police on Saturday, February 17 in the afternoon.
La Edil has indicated that "around 5:45 pm, when the patrol was carrying out surveillance work on Puente Gimeno street, it was requested by a person who said he suffered the theft of his mobile phone after being attacked by two people, Those who were still in the vicinity, after gathering all the information about the appearance of the alleged perpetrators of the robbery, the agents located them in the area, requiring them to identify themselves.
"The alleged thieves were very uncooperative, repeatedly shouting and insulting the agents and manifesting an evident aggression that even led them to make threatening gestures towards the agents." In one oversight one of the detainees removed from the bandolier carrying a sharp object, swooping towards the agents while screaming that he was going to crack them, attacking against the face of one of the actors.The police, after suffering several blows and punches, managed to dodge the attacks of the detainees, reducing them and stopping them to both using the minimum necessary force, the two offenders were transferred to the premises of the National Police Station to be brought before the courts. "
Pérez Martínez wanted to "congratulate the agents who managed to recover the stolen object and arrested the perpetrators of the theft despite the resistance they opposed, and all this without abusing the violence." Once again the importance of the surveillance operations is demonstrated that allow the patrols to act quickly before any urgency or infraction, giving answers to the demands of the neighbors to make Lorca a safer municipality.
