The National Police have arrested in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria a 33-year-old man with 22 police records, as the alleged perpetrator of two crimes of robbery with violence.

A patrol of agents went to the scene, arresting the author hidden under a car parked nearby, with the phone stolen and a piece of glass broken.
The taxi driver had to be assisted in a medical center for the injuries he presented and later the police officers gave him his phone.
Another robbery committed an hour and a half before

The individual fled on foot through an alley with the 120 euros of the proceeds.
