20.03.2019 - The Local Police from Arrecife in Lanzarote recently seized 30 toy products that are not approved in Spain because they do not meet the safety standards. These include, for example, luminous bracelets containing a highly toxic substance, diadems whose batteries are easily accessible or wooden bows and arrows with a high risk of strangulation. The AECOSAN alarm network, which warns of such dangerous toys, calls on consumers to report suspicious products that are not labelled with the necessary seals so that they can be withdrawn from circulation. more...
19.03.2019 - Guardia Civil officers recently arrested a 32-year-old man from Madrid who was caught trying to enter the country with 1,100 grams of cocaine.

19.03.2019 - A natural cause for the forest fire that broke out on Saturday near Fataga in Gran Canaria and was only brought under control at 3am on Sunday morning is currently considered by fire experts to be excluded, and it is now thought that it was caused intentionally. The fire broke out in a palm grove near the pool at the Molino del Agua Country Hotel and burned 35 hectares of land. The hotel guests had to be evacuated as a precaution. Now the fire has to be extinguished completely, as fires often continue to smoulder underground. This can take weeks. more...
18.03.2019 - A woman from Las Palmas in Gran Canaria experienced a nightmare when she came back from a long private trip and realised that she could not open her front door with her key. She alerted the police. At the scene, the police confirmed that the lock of the house in Calle León y Castillo had been replaced. In the garden, they discovered a car that the owner of the apartment did not recognise. Finally, a young man opened the door. The 24-year-old admitted to having occupied the apartments together with a 19-year-old friend. One of the two had a previous criminal record. In the apartment, the owner found that several devices were missing. The two were then arrested for robbery and abuse of a property. more...
18.03.2019 - On Friday morning, about 300 pupils and students went to La Laguna to fight for a better future for Planet Earth. In the evening there was another protest march in the capital Santa Cruz, which went from the Plaza Weyler to Plaza de Candelaria, where they read their manifesto. It was initiated by four schoolgirls, joined by other pupils and students, as well as families and pensioners. They demanded a reversal of climate policy, an end to the extinction of species and finally effective measures. Around 2,000 people joined the march. "Not even two weeks ago, we developed the idea of participating in this Friday march among four schoolmates. We counted on perhaps two dozen fellow protesters. We would never have thought that so many would join us," explained Natalia Díaz, spokeswoman for the movement. She announced that this protest would now take place every Friday until there was a political reaction. more...
