Local Police for help from the neighbors is essential.
Just last November 12 robbers were caught in a local field due to a call from a neighbor who alerted agents.
The said day, about 22 hours, the local police station received a call reporting a possible theft of grapes on a vine in the locality.
The agents presented themselves immediately and noted that the access door was forced cultivation.
In addition, they heard sounds of a vehicle by accelerations.
These tracks were made clear to the agents to find two vehicles hidden behind a mound, with grapes in the trunk.
Soon after they found one of the alleged robbers hiding behind some bushes who was arrested and taken to the Civil Guard barracks, the body that took over the case.
The arrest, without a doubt, it was thanks to the cooperation of neighbors.
For this reason, Local Police Department wants to emphasize in this arrest.
In addition, the area's councilman, Fulgencio de la Cruz, seized the opportunity to highlight the "importance of any citizen, any suspicion, not only your property but also that of any neighbor who sees something that does not understand how normal, alert the police. "
The mayor said that no matter "if it is a false alarm, but in these cases it is better to err on the side that does not complain about something that we could have tried to avoid."
