Guardia Civil from the main Las Américas HQ arrested several people yesterday for attempted bank robbery in a La Caixa branch in Arona town. It's not that long since the same branch was robbed before; a few months ago some south Americans stole one of a few money bags that had just been delivered by a security van and which had been left unattended on the counter.
This is also the place, of course, where residents are so fed up with lack of security and blatant robbery that they are threatening to walk the streets in vigilante groups.
At least on this occassion, the attempted robbery was unsuccessful, and the Guardia Civil have got involved.
