Private security attacked in La Camella fiesta as Arona Policía Local too stretched to assist

[Janet]

Arona Policía Local have long called for more officers in their force, and have today expressed solidarity for a private security guard who was punched in the face while trying to stop a fight that broke out in La Camella plaza during the weekend's fiesta. Arona Policía Local had refused to work extra overtime to cover the event because they are trying to get enough officers for the force to be up to quota as promised by the council, and so the council drafted in a private firm. Police say that the mere three agents allocated to the event were already dealing with a traffic accident and a domestic violence incident, and so were unable to assist during the assault ... which is exactly the point they're trying to make, of course!
