[Janet]

The Guardia Civil says that officers have arrested seven thieves and in the process have cleared up ten robberies, some with forced entry, reported in south Tenerife in the last month or so. The thefts mainly took place in eight holiday complexes, as well as various bars and cafés along the San Miguel and Granadilla coasts. Police say that five of those arrested are Spanish, the other two being foreigners, and all are between 17 and 54 years of age: five were operating as a group, and the other two working separately.  The detainees are now being processed by the Courts, with the 17-year-old, as a minor in criminal law, being dealt with by the Fiscalía de Menores.
