The Guardia Civil have arrested two men who were allegedly posing as golfers to steal from players at a golf course in the south of Tenerife, targeting personal belongings, such as phones, watches, and cash left in victims' golf carts during their games.
Investigations conducted under the name ‘Operation Danubio’ led officers to catch the two men red-handed in the act, and both were found to have numerous prior criminal records.
The Guardia Civil successfully identified and confirmed four theft-related offences after victims had reported the crimes, and recovered some of the stolen items.
Following their arrest and the completion of the necessary procedures, the detainees were presented to the Arona Courts in Los Cristianos where they will be sentenced.
The report emphasizes that people need to be patient in these types of cases as the police need real evidence or to catch them in the act to be able to arrest them so that they can go to jail, otherwise it is easy for the thieves to escape prison and be back on the streets.
