According to the data provided by the Local Police, this Christmas there has been an increase of more than 60 percent over last year at this time, in terms of the number of robberies in homes, especially in the districts of La Algaida, El Hurtado and the Barrio de La Providencia.

To this Local Safety Board, with extraordinary character, that has taken place this morning in the City council of Archena has also assisted the Adviser of Presidency, Pedro Rivera, responsible for the Civil Guard and the Head of the Local Police of Archena, José Velasco , and the Councilor for Security, Antonio José Palazón.

This urgent summons was motivated by the increase of robberies that have occurred these past Christmases especially in those districts, "and as an unusual event, no cash or patrol of the Civil Guard has been seen to circulate, precisely on these significant dates. September, the staff of the Civil Guard has seven fewer troops, which has meant an increase in insecurity for the residents of the municipality, "said Fernandez

The first municipal councilor recalled that this request for replacement of the transferred agents was already brought to the attention of the Government Delegation at the meeting of the Local Security Board on October 18, without obtaining any specific answers from the Administration. of the State in Murcia, and returned, on this occasion, to demand in the Local Board of December 20, prior to the Christmas holidays, the need for this replacement, without changing the situation and continuing with the same insecurity.

"This is why the increase in robberies in those areas of Archena has been due to the absence of the repositioning of agents, first, effectively, since the 21 agents who had been there for months, who have been reduced to 11, are not there, and second, by the feeling among the neighborhood of the lack of presence of that Civil Guard, "concludes the Mayor, who also stresses that" I saw the need to strengthen the patrol of the Local Police who are doing extraordinary work to supply this lack of troops of the Civil Guard ".

The Mayor has met later with the mayors of these districts to explain the results of the meeting and the imminent measures that the Mayor has demanded from the head of the Government Delegation, such as, among others, the urgent restitution of these troops. the Civil Guard for the post of Archena.
