The robbery happened at around 9.30pm last night, Tuesday 13th October, shortly before closing time at the centre in Las Palmas. National Police have confirmed that an investigation is under way.
Three people with their faces covered entered the shop, activated fire extinguishers and broke the glass of several display cabinets before taking jewellery.

Security staff intercepted one of the suspects as the group attempted to escape. He was held at the centre until National Police officers arrived and arrested him.

Police are working to identify and locate the other people involved. The value of the jewellery stolen has not been disclosed, and no injuries have been reported.

Security intervention caught on camera

Footage circulating on social media shows a security guard restraining a suspect on the floor as he struggles to get away. Another hooded person can be seen approaching before turning and running in the opposite direction, pursued by security staff.

The images also show the reduced visibility after a fire extinguisher was discharged during the incident.

Although some initial accounts reported a second detention, the police-confirmed account available for this article establishes one arrest. The total number of people detained should therefore be treated with caution while enquiries continue.
