Armed Robbers
Police have arrested two men suspected of robbing a Scotish couple at their home in Lanzarote.
Masked raiders ambushed Scott Proudfoot and Gill Hewitt, originally from Edinburgh, as they returned home with takings from a bar they run in a holiday resort.
The robbers terrorised the couple, who run Flintstones at Las Cucharas beach with a replica gun.
They fired two shots before making off with more than £6000 as well as other valuables.
Scott was beaten up and sustained “considerable injuries“ during the incident in August.
The same raiders were accused by police of a second violent robbery days later at a water park.
A worker was injured and more than £14,000 stolen.
Two males, 19 and 35, were remanded in custody after an appearance before an investigating judge.
Hunters Arrested
POLICE have arrested two men for allegedly striking an expat farmer with a rock after an argument.
A German man residing on a remote plot in Castellón alleges that two hunters, who he claims were trespassing on his land with three dogs, assaulted him after an argument.
The alleged victim claims he was beaten unconscious by the two hunters, who used a rock to knock him out.
The hunters reportedly left the man unconscious before fleeing the property and abandoning their three dogs.
Guardia Civil officers noticed the dogs were fitted with chips and after a quick scan, each dog was registered on the system as stolen.
After an investigation the two suspects were identified and arrested for assault, animal abandonment and theft.
Football in the USA
The Spanish football players’ association remains against La Liga’s plan to play a regular-season match in the United States despite receiving more detailed information.
The association was not convinced with the league’s update and yesterday said it will not be in favor of the Girona-Barcelona game planned to be played in Miami in January.
The association doesn’t have a final say although players did not rule out a strike if their demands are not considered.
The association’s announcement comes three days after the Spanish football federation refused to give its approval for the match, putting the plan in serious doubt.
